Why don’t they make horror movies with overgrown housecats from scientific experiments gone awry?

Sorry – did not see you had done that link! 😉
Cats do feature prominently in horror films, just more as a plot device as you can see in this compilation of clips, It’s Just a Cat
In the 50s SciFi movie “The Incredible Shrinking Man”, there was just such a scene! Man unknowingly exposed to cloud of atomic radiation…begins to shrink in size…wife puts him in dollhouse…housecat sticks paws and legs through windows and generally terrorizes shrinking man, who continues to “downsize” until he becomes infinitesimal…philosophical conundrums ensue…movie ends. Cat lives happily ever after.

Cat lives happily ever after.
Speaking from experience, a litter of kittens can destroy your house in minutes.

Yes, and the mom cat ignoring your carefully set up birthing area (big towel lined box in a comfy, sheltered closet) and deciding to have the litter under the chesterfield (sofa for the Americans in the audience) is certainly a good start in that direction.
The Goodies did it on the BBC in the 70s –

[Booming voice] Kitteh Kong!
Oddie, Garden and Taylor’s careers have been on the downhill ever since. (Which is not to say that they’re bad 40 years later ; just not up to the sublime silliness of a kitteh pushing the Post Office Tower over.)
Think of all that cat fur. Think of the litter box. The horror! The horror!
[Ceiling Cat] – The gap is shrinking! Shrinking, I meow!
It can’t be *that* rare. The original _Star Trek_ did it – episode: “Catspaw”.
Giant Cat is not horrible. Giant Cat is a good idea. Then the human could get on the cat and fall asleep instead of vice versa.
Check out Terry Gilliam’s classic animation “Killer Cars” from Monty Python:
