We're talking about cats here and ecology not human politics.
You're mistaking natural movements of species into new ecological systems with humans literally transplanting cats across the globe.
It's a fact that on some islands we settled, when we brought cats with us, those cats literally drove entire species of birds native to that island into extinction. The cats didn't walk across water or build ships to get there. They were brought there by humans and did what cats do.
This conversation is starting to get a bit absurd.
One could have said the same thing when mammals appeared. Not to mention humans: "These human species will ruin the ecosystem. We better eliminate it now before it spreads".
Said otherwise, you are thinking about the narrow interest of the day, without considering if the ideology makes sense in itself.
