I also don’t get the idea that cats contributed nothing when humans had them join the tribe: they are ferocious hunters of small rodents, and any agrarian society needed that!

A couple of good cats will keep your grain bins safe from rats and mice.
These people obviously have never heard of "barn cats".

When mankind learned to plant grains, cats decided to domesticate them as a useful working beast. Their grain fields were used to attract mice and rats for the entertainment and feeding of cats. Today that behavior is shown by the cats keeping humans around to open cans of cat food and empty the litter box.

If they didn’t kill cats as familiars to witches they would’ve prevented the plague.
