Cats are horrible creatures. It used to be that people just let them outside to hang around and deal with rodents, and it was the sort of set and forget nature of the situation that made it desirable. Then people started keeping the furry little shits indoors, where nowadays they just lay around acting like they're better than everyone all the time and meowing at people for no reason.

Don't get me wrong I like petting cats but I won't let that cloud my judgement. Vote now to collect cats (not the user) in a bag and throw them into a fire.

B) More cats is smellier and expensive

C) It also brings in more hairballs

As long as we're genetically engineering them, what about using hairball as a building material? It wouldn't be much different from paper wasps, maybe stronger because of the longer fibers.

This wouldn't apply much indoors, but a feral colony could build a big above-ground warren made out of generations of hair and dried protein. That's where they would drag stray children and transients to share with the rest of the cat-hive (this is the answer to the second half of B), and their clothing and bones would make the innermost "rooms" more comfortable to sleep in.
