I entered in a 4th level Wizard with a cat familiar companion.
The Attack Bonus shows as +4. A 4th level Wizard's BAB is +2, so that should also be the familiar's BAB. Or am I missing some obscure rule? (Note: the CMB is calculated right as +2, but I was unable to edit this out of the post, after I posted it) |

The +2 Size modifier to attacks for Tiny size is displayed as part of the BAB line in the summary.

Ah, that is where the confusion is. Size modifier is not normally applied the Attack Bonus.

Size modifier is part of the final to hit, it's just not normally displayed as part of the BAB.

I think I see where the confusion is. Generally, people do not make reference to the term "Attack Bonus". (I was mistaking "Attack Bonus" as being "Base Attack Bonus").
I would recommend only referencing to the terms of: "Base Attack Bonus" "Melee Attack Bonus" "Ranged Attack Bonus" |
