It's not a phobia. I have no problem with them in the same room, I just find the way they look at you to be mildly disconcerting. If they don't mess with me, I don't mess with them. I also just prefer dogs.

BTW, "Cat Watching" by Desmond Morris explains their body language quite well.

I like cats, but I do find it disconcerting to be in bed, and wake up to find a cat looking down in to my eyes. Definitely predators.
