The Polish Academy of Sciences
has a list of species of animals declared to be alien, invasive
species. There was zero controversy of any kind about the first 1,786
species on the list. They have just listed domestic cats and species
1,787. Cat lovers went 5150 over the designation. Wild bird fanciers
were thrilled.
Personally
I have always though that cats were useful. Archers need something to
use for practice for hitting moving targets. They also make good
tacos. (It is believed that the phrase "not room enough to swing a cat"
comes from the ancient practice of using a sack-full of wild cats
hanging from a branch as a target for archery practice. The phrase in
fact pre-dates the use of the "cat of 9-tails" for flogging by a couple
of hundred years.

As a kid we always had an old Tom Cat that lived under the back steps. No vermin around except what he would drag up to show us.
