David is absolutely right.  The deprecation is in the 2nd edition
of Lamport's basic book LaTeX: A Document Preparation System, 1994,
which is 8 years old.

You probably want: \emph{There was a \emph{cat} on the mat} or
you may want  \emph{There was a \textbf{cat} on the mat }  if you
really like gratuitous boldface.  See Lamport.

Some new things work much better this way.
