Yeah but like most invasive species we brought them to places they dont live naturally. Other than a loose dog not much will even bother a cat in North American cities.
Nothing lives in cities naturally. Cities themselves just aren't natural.
Where I come from, outdoors cats really don't have a particularly long shelf life in cities and towns. Either they get hit by a car, or they wander to the forest and find something stronger than them
