Not expecting too much; it will just take a combination of educational and economic factors, just like it did with dogs. As cats become rarer they'll be more valued, and as cats become more valued they'll become rarer.
Of course, the issue of cats as agricultural rodent control will largely become moot once they're all indoors (they'll still be good for roaches.) Maybe we can convince people to create habitat for native snakes, but that'll take some doing.
