As the Chinese story goes, the rat tricked the cat into missing a banquet with the Jade Emperor, resulting in the cat not being included in the zodiac. This was also apparently the beginning of the natural hatred between cats and rats.
However the truth of it is because when the Chinese zodiac was drawn up, domesticated cats were not very popular in China. It was rare to see a domesticated cat in a household. The people who created the zodiac simply didn't think of cats because they were very insignificant to the Chinese culture at the time.
