TLDR: Stray/'outside' cats are really good at hunting & killing small wildlife & other critters.

So much so that they're causing many species across the globe to go extinct.

It's more likely a reference to the Black-footed cat. See direct reply to commenter above.

TheTux is close, but this is almost certainly specifically referencing the black-footed cat and the fact that it has the greatest hunting success rate of any felid.
