That's an interesting point of view. I'm demi, so I only develop feelings once I know someone well. I feel like by then I already know if we're compatible. But I guess that's not the case for most people.
I will never not recommend Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels, I would suggest starting with the Tiffany Aching series, they're YA but might give you the vibe you want. Alternatively, any of the novels set in Unseen University (or focused around the wizards) might also be worth a look. I wouldn't recommend starting with the Light Fantastic or the Colour of Magic though, just because they're early books and he hadn't got his writing style down yet. Maybe Unseen Academicals or Equal Rites?
Other book suggestions:
Redemption of Althalus by David and Leigh Eddings (I have been informed the authors are child abusers, read if you want)
First off, I would think that in order for them to get that far they'd have to evolve longer, grasping fingers like ours, or maybe they would have designed objects to work with their paws, but without the fine motor control afforded by fingers I'm not sure how they would invent anything.
There would be a lot more meat production and no crop farms, since they are obligate carnivores, but this does assume they don't evolve beyond that on their way to domination.
I suppose humans wouldn't have evolved past being apes, it's unlikely they would want us as pets, so we're probably either hinted for sport or as an exotic food source, or largely ignored.
It's possible that animals would be going extinct at an alarming rate, since cats hunt for food and fun, and as a society they would require more meat.
It's hard to know it cats would make the same mistakes we've made, but I would think it's safe to assume they've lost touch with their kinship with nature or largely ignore it, like humans do now, so perhaps a lot will be the same. I don't know if they'd give in to greed like humans have, or create a system that's more beneficial overall. If the former, work would be hell for them, it would probably be a 3-4 day work week, but that would be rough for them just like our current system is for us.
The biggest changes would be anatomical, I think. Their fur would thin out, except on the top of their heads, their tails might grow shorter or disappear to allow them to stand and walk upright, the breasts in females would grow larger and the number of their offspring might reduce to one or two as their gestation and childhood periods get longer to account for higher intelligence.
Is Assistant AI? I thought it pre-dated that. I use it for navigation and replying to messages so I don't get distracted or have to pull over all the time.
They're removing Assist (which works and I use when I'm driving) for Gemini (which does not work). Does anyone have a solution? Because I cannot use Gemini while driving, it's a nightmare.
Legit question: what did I say that makes me sound like an incel?

They can become mutual over time.
Because you're aro-ace?
I have the opposite problem.
I didn't know that... Thanks for the info.

Gas is $2 where I live! Sobs in Australian
I'll look into that. I wish they would stop inserting AI into everything.

The fact that the people I like never like me and my options are always settle for someone who likes me or be alone.
I think they're called imams.
You're fine, I always love seeing you beautiful gals! Thank you for the warm welcome 💜
Thank you!
Haha, I always wanted one since reading the Andy Capp comics as a kid and finally found one!
Definitely the connection to the magical other-world 😸
The t-shirt was from City Chic!
You do in Australia though.
