Here in Bangalore where stray cats are fairly common, you don't see squirrels all that often. Because they mostly get converted to cat food. A while back I used to feed pigeons at our home roof top. One day I saw while the pigeons were eating the wheat a cat hunted a pigeon. I realised my wheat feed was acting like a bait for cats to hunt pigeons. Stopped feeding them thereafter because I didn't want to be responsible for helping the cat kill the pigeons. Rat population is less too. But rats are good at hiding below the earth, but I do witness a cat hunting a rat every other week.
