"Feral cats are one of the major invasive species in Australia"
"In 2016, 29% of Australian households had a domesticated cat"
"Cats in Australia have no natural predators except dingoes and wedge-tailed eagles, and as a result, they are apex predators where neither the dingo nor the eagle exists"
Based on the given figure of 2 million or more feral cats in Australia, each killing 740 wild animals a year, that's 1.5 billion total.
So, given all that, I wonder why the mice are a problem at the moment.
