Notice the exponents in these two statements.

Those little tiny numbers tell the whole big story:

(the ratio of the surface areas of similar figures) = (the ratio of their linear dimensions)2

(the ratio of the volumes of similar solids) = (the ratio of their linear dimensions)3

How does the floor of a limestone cave form?

I'm not really sure what you had in mind. Given that the cave is in limestone (as the vast majority of them are) there has to be a dimensional limit to the dissolution and erosion processes. The floor is there by default: it is the lowest surface along a passage at that given time in the cave's development.
