For the same reason they catch/kill and if hungry eat mice. Cats like to prey on little moving objects. House cats do it mostly for fun. It's the predator instinct in them, to hunt.
Cats have "chase instinct": Run from them and they will chase you. Besides, some bugs are delicious: Live grasshoppers have a lot of protein, but they won't stop kicking their legs until you chomp down on their heads. Try it! The Bible tells of John wandering the wilderness and living off of locusts and honey. So it is NOT without precedence.
