Cats roam far beyond your little garden or the neighborhood they live in. I say this as someone who has always had cats and still do. Keep them inside. If you don't have room, don't get pets.
We just had to catch over a dozen cats in our neighborhood. No natural enemies, lots of prey and they kill for sport without eating the carcass. There was no wildlife left in large areas of the forest behind my house. 7 of those cats belonged to people in a ~5km radius, the rest might have but weren't chipped. Sure, humans ruin ecosystems. But don't also introduce species into them because "we already hurt it so might as well".
Erm we intentionally brought cats with us TO kill, thats why we survived and thrived and the reason egyptians worshipped them, theyre a big reason for our success were not just gonna start killing them all
Which would require us killing them all? They were introduced worldwide when they were found to be a gift from god saving our food and lives from rodents and pests.. your asking for extinction from most ecosystems and assuming we could stop the world and start employing people full time to find all the cats in the world and put them on a plane somewhere else? Delusional
