> Attractiveness and having a larger number of partners, which increases odds of exposure to cats

Hooking up was simply an example of why the person would be at the other person's environment.

Replace it with getting together if you're getting hung up on it. Whether or not the humans met up to have sex, talk, stand on their head, or whatever is irrelevant.

The point was house cats generally don't eat infected mice, if you're hanging out in barns or on the patio with outside cats, sure maybe.
