    Don’t cats also keep rodent populations in check? It’s not all bad. Cities are completely transformed for humans anyway, so it’s hard to say what fauna “should” survive on the streets.

    But outside of cities, you’re damn right. There was that one individual cat that is responsible for the extinction of multiple species!

      Not sure how effective of a pest control cats are. And don’t be mistaken on the role of cities as ecosystems. They can harbour birds a lot, especially with greenspaces.
