Cats are invasive in the US and we deal with it just fine. Clone and reintroduce thylacines and megalania and I'll consider bringing a couple hyenas on as pets.
No we don't. Cats kill a massive amount of wildlife in the US.
And before you say cats dont kill the same animals as wolves and mountain lions I'm sure that housecats kill at least a single digit number of deer each decade. They're getting better at it every day
Wolves and mountain lions would be killing massive amounts too if they were still endemic, it's not like anywhere has an intact predator structure apart from tiny enclaves in national parks
