Probably because they are considered to be pets of witches and other evil sorcerers. A bat's fur and a black cat's are both dark in colour and vampires are considered to like dark things. Also bats and some cats come out at night and so do vampires. There is such thing as a vampire bat and quite a lot of cat's bite their owners so that is also something they have in common.
