Stray cats are a problem everywhere I have lived. They are a danger to pets and wildlife and don’t contribute to the environment.
My neighbor’s cat wanders over and kills field mice on our property.
If they were a little larger I would give them a high five!

They don’t bother
Chasing mice around
This spring we had tons of feral cats in our neighborhood. By fall, I think it’s down to 1 or 2.
Our area also has fox, hawks and eagles
I’m not so sure cats are environmentally irrelevant or harmful: less cats, more birds; more birds, less worms; less worms, less aerated soil; less aerated soil, less growth. Nature has a way of balancing itself, maybe not instantly but it adapts quite well in a year or so. Where I grew up, there was a grand balance between jackrabbits and coyotes where they kept each other in balance year to year.
