Cats have caused dozens of extinctions in the new world alone. I’m not as familiar with old world regions, but I understand they’re not exactly friendly to local wildlife there either. They’re not “just cats,” they’re an apex predator that no ecosystem outside of Northern Africa evolved to deal with. You don’t let zebra mussels into your local lake. You don’t plant kudzu in your yard. Don’t let your cats outside unsupervised.
idk where you live but where I live, all there is for a cat to hunt is a mouse or maybe a pigeon, and those animals are so abundant that they are a pest themselves
even then, many cats are too lazy to hunt anything, as they know their owner will feed them something way more delicious
I’m very curious where you live. It seems more likely that you’re simply unaware of your ecosystem than that you live in a place with only to animals that cats prey on
