Several comments have mentioned that culling cats in response to covid didn't happen but I had reason to walk the streets of London in the relevant years and I have only just begun seeing mostly very young domestic cats around the town in recent months. Like pretty much everything Boris Johnson claimed he has said, I have a very strong suspicion the culling of domestic cats did happen in London England. That, or COVID-22 is lethal to all living things. I'm going with both those statements being true on the evidence I've seen.

Edit : red: " covid lethal to all living things " the insect population of the city of London vanished towards the end of the official pandemic measures. Maybe the job was considered done because only this January the most lethal covid variant was culling infants and young children in Japan killing in under two weeks through multiple organ failure and the day after NKK broke the story Rishi Sunak the prime minister of the UK ordered air routes to and from Japan to be fully opened up from lockdown rules completely without any review.

Are you implying that there were secret cat death squads roaming around London during COVID and somehow nobody noticed?

I would imagine it's more likely that people kept their cats indoors or stopped feeding ferals.

Or are they claiming that covid killed cats?
Yes
