Let's do this. And when we're done killing all the cats and the rat problem becomes worse and somehow the birds don't seem to return to the filthy and noisy concrete jungle with no trees we can just pretend it never happened.

Cats usually won't tackle rats, this is even mentioned in the article.

The rats dont just pop out fully grown, the young rats are an easy prey.

Joking aside, cats aren't going to be very inclined to head into a lair to pick off their young.
