It's definitly possible, but I don't really see why you should build AD over AP on her. The playstyle is almost the same, just that AP Kat scales better into late game, plus AD scaling don't mean physical damage. Her spells still deal magic damage and can be countered by magic resistence and AD Kat doesn't have any items to cover that problem, unless you go hybrid and build Void Staff. Sure, her AA's will deal a lot of physical damage, but unless you go off-tank you won't have much time to make as many AA's as you would need to and if you go off-tank, you probably won't deal enough damage to one shot the carries (except you are super fed), making you to a wired bruiser like character with a lot of mobility, no CC, medicre damage and still being voulnerable to CC.

Not saying AD Kat is shit or anything, in early game it deals massive damage, because her AD scalings are simply better in the early levels, but it's getting outclassed by AP at level 11 or so, is easier and stronger to itemize and get's the job of an assassin done way better. For bruiser Kat it's ok tho.
