Because if the domestic cat was wild he/she would use this ability to hunt and chase down pray. (I suppose the domestic cat uses it anyway to kill mice, rats and birds) Also don't forget they are related to the cheetah and other jungle cats.
Cats have four legs that are quite short in comparison to the rest of the body. The leg muscles allow the cat to pounce and run in bursts - they are very good sprinters and a cat's high speed allows it to surprise and catch prey.
