Maybe, it make sense to not generalize and firstly get some information where cats are more welcome and where not. Cats (as a predators) keep population of birds, small mammals, reptiles, and other fauna healthy. Or we should ignore this because its false?

Where are household cats native animals?

Istanbul comes to mind. They have feral cats like other cities have feral pigeons, and have so for thousands of years

(and yes, pigeons are feral, not wild! They are a domesticated species)

feral != native
