I posted something similar upthread (and sorry for the late reply) but Disney was pretty neutral toward cats. They ended up as the villains a lot because of the situations (mice or dog protagonists, for example.) If you look at the older shorts, there were plenty of cats who were friends with Mickey and Company and the main reason they probably didn't get named was because of Felix. The oldest recurring cartoon character for Disney was actually an unnamed cat character in the Alice shorts and before Mickey, Oswald had a cat girlfriend (and Pete was a bear, probably got changed to a cat when the protagonist went from a rabbit to a mouse).
Aristocats was made largely because they realized they had an over-abundance of cat villains and wanted to address that, but there's not indication it was ever intentional.
