Meanwhile cats just showed up, said that they live here now. 10,000 years later, cats run the internet and more or less still the same genetically for the past 10,000 years.

That doesn't stop people from trying.

They kill rats.

Keep the granaries uninfested.

And roughly half of them also carry a parasite that rewires the brain/neurological DNA of humans via epigenetic manipulation.

Also they can be adorable.

I thought that parasite wasn't carried long-term by cats, only by humans?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxoplasma_gondii

Toxoplasma gondii (/ˈtɒksəˌplæzmə ˈɡɒndi.aɪ, -iː/) is a species of parasitic alveolate that causes toxoplasmosis.[3] Found worldwide, T. gondii is capable of infecting virtually all warm-blooded animals,[4]: 1  but members of the cat family (Felidae) are the only known definitive hosts in which the parasite may undergo sexual reproduction.[5][6]

Can infect basically any mammal, but cats are their preffered hosts.
