    They’re part of that ecosystem. The domestic cat is not, except in the regions around Turkey. The ecosystem has developed to not collapse with the species that currently exist in it. When you add an invasive species, things can go horribly wrong very quickly as the native species are not adapted to defend against them and the native predetors or not adapted to hunt them. Their populations typically grow out of control and their prey often collapse.

    But I’m sure you’re aware of this and know this about other invasive species. You’re just being annoying about domestic cats.
