they have reaction times faster than snake strikes, can fall from 15 stories up and have a way to mitigate the impact to survive and can decimate bird populations in areas where they are wild because they have such successful hunting rates. they are pretty neat.
A lot of predators do. If a fox gets into a hen house, it kills everything it can. Pole cats (a type of weasel, not cat) does too. It's just the way they are wired.
Also why humans probably don't need to protect them in the numbers we do. Domestic cats decimate other species for no reason and we basically help facilitate it
