I wasn't implying infection was occurring during sex, but rather by being in the environment (many people stay around partners for more than sex).

I wasn't implying that either, indicated by "as humans don't transfer to each other."

I painted a scenario where your environment would occur, and dispute it by saying those cats in that environment generally aren't infected

Unless those attractive people are hanging out in barns or patios with outside cats.

Now that could be the case if you go at it from an outdoors perspective, outdoorsy people may be more attractive on average, and they may encounter infected cats more on average.

There are house cats all over my neighborhood. I can think of four in the area. It’s extremely common to have an outdoor cat as a pet.

Your characterization of cat ownership is unrealistic.
