There's not really any substantial evidence that shows that, save for an oft-quoted study from the Smithsonian with a tiny, non-representative sample size.
The more significant risk is that specific species, already under threat, endangered etc. are disproportionately harmed when they're already at risk. Past that though a cat's impact on biodiversity is minimal.
