I installed LR 5. Is it safe to uninstall LR 4, or will it mess up my catalogs?

Your catalogs will auto update to LR5.

When you installed LR5 it created new LR5 catalogs. Your LR4 catalogs are still there but will not be used by LR5.
You can uninstall LR4 if you want and the new LR5 catalogs will be unaffected.
There is no rush to do this so make sure LR5 is working to your satisfaction first.

You can uninstall without worry. There will be a LR4 catalog file lingering about for you if you feel you hate LR5 for some reason.

LR5 should have looked at your LR4 catalog and created a new one that is identical to the one in LR4. Just open LR5 and see if your key words, and other tags are there. Open a Develop a few images to see if the settings are still in tact. If so, remove LR4.
