You have missed the point of what I was saying.

What I am saying is that it has a major (perhaps the dominant) effect
on almost the ENTIRETY of the fertile lowlands of the UK, including
all of the urban and peri-urban areas. There is no longer any refuge
for the cats' prey.

And that IS being over-run with the things!
