Cats have the evolutionary benefit of being cute to humans. This allows them to be one of the most invasive species in the world.

Case in point is Hawaii; attempts to bring the wild cat populations under control are immediately met with resistance from animal rights groups. This is in spite of the ongoing destruction to wild bird populations. One also has to be extremely careful about washing local vegetables, due to cats spreading toxoplasma.
