I feel this article makes up an elaborate story when a much simpler explanation is available if you've lived with a cat: they are nice to have around.

If you read the article, it specifically talks about phenomena not observed with other animals, like dogs. I don't know if I agree that such phenomena certainly exists, but that doesn't mean it can't be a fun thought exercise to speculate about potential reasons for one.

Yeah, I too thought it was fun. I probably wouldn't write up a whole article on this idea, however.
