Keep in mind that many of the mammals killed by cats are mice and rats that we want to kill anyway.

I think a bell goes a long way, as already suggested.

Wild predators already have this job. By raising millions of cats in each countries, the pressure on wild rodents becomes huge. Without talking about wild birds whose populations are plummeting.
Mice and rats that live in urban and semi-urban areas are not really that more wild than cats. Their populations collapse if they lost access to their food sources which are provided by humans.
