Rodents are an issue of trash and food left around, not a problem of not enough cats.

Cats shit in my garden and leave dead songbirds where I grow food. No, we don’t need more cats.

Do you not think rodents are in your garden … where food is left around?

To be clear, your claims are:

1. An increase in the population of predators will have no effect on the population of the prey.

2. Rats don’t shit and/or aren’t attracted to food.

Are you speaking in jest or do you actually believe those? The fact that your second statement directly contradicts your first doesn’t help.
