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.
