The cat domestication is interesting bc it really seems like it was so much more transactional, where with wolves/dogs, the benefits weren't directly utilized, they just formed a bond over not eating each other or being to hostile.

But cats were just: they eat rats, so we don't eat the cats, they keep to themselves, we keep to ours.

The history of animal domestication is extremely interesting tbh and you can kind of look to them as bookmarks to human evolution as well.

I've heard it argued very convincingly that domesticating the horse was the most important domestication in our history.

Almost has to be because without it the wheel and the chariot, which is two of the most important innovations in human history, would have taken much longer to develop.
