Cats never domesticated themself, since ever they are specialists in domesticate humans, for commodity, not for need.

Spot on. Cats are the OG scientists who stuck around to see what they could make us do after they discovered monkeys gave good tummy rubs.

Yadda-yadda, we industrialize food production and build awesome cozy dens to live in, yadda-yadda, they're watching us burn the world like, "fascinating... now, can I make the monkey give me treats 2 minutes earlier than this time last week..."

Only reason they don't have us outright worshipping them is we tried it once or twice, but things got weird.
