Did a 12 Volt Battery kill my cat?

Waking out of bed, I saw my cat "leap" backwards and fall about 4 feet to a
table top...

Grabbing my glasses, I saw and thought that he was having a convulsion...
got to him within seconds and commenced Mouth-To-Mouth to No Avail... he was
but 4 years and healthy...

Investigating the area he was in when I saw the Backwards "leap", I
discovered the wire between a 12 Volt Battery and 12 Volt Lamp was
unplugged...

Is it Possible he licked the bare wires and the charge from the 12 Volt Batt
had Sufficient Current to kill him?

Cats love to chew on insulated wires. One of my kittens almost chewed
through the power cord on an old X-10 control box. It wasn't plugged
in (due to the kittens, of course!).

I just returned from a Thanksgiving vacation and the TV wouldn't work.
Yep, a kitten almost unplugged it!
