Cat domestication is mainly about making them small enough so that when they randomly decide to slap your face with their clawed paws you wouldn’t die.
Domestic cats aren’t shrunken down big cats, the cats we take into our homes were always this size. They originated from Felis Silvestris Lybica, a species from Egypt and North Africa… Which look fairly similar to just regular cats.

Then our domestication was becoming larger than cats.
Make sense.
