Depends upon which cat. I have a Bombay who is critical to keeping mice out of the house and food supplies. She appears to do zero damage to the bird population. But, much as I may like them, not all cats are so useful.

You might want to check out my thread https://permies.com/t/62282/critters/barn-farm-cats-folks about cats and if they fit in with permaculture.

"Where will you drive your own picket stake? Where will you choose to make your stand? Give me a threshold, a specific point at which you will finally stop running, at which you will finally fight back." (Derrick Jensen)

Yeah, but how did the squirrel get in there? Was it because of the tiny ad?
