Well, for one, cats are sometimes know to represent loneliness. (Ex: Cats being used as symbol for loneliness - Ritsuko from Neon Genesis Evangelion). This is due to cats most wanting to be alone, being territoral of their space, and usually prefering to take care of themselves rather than have others help them. As you may have infered from some of Ookurikara's lines, he tends to like being alone and taking care of himself.

Another reason for this is simply because people like to see manly people be around cute things, and cats are cute. Plus, Japan really seems to love cats, so there is that too! XD
