I don't think that there is anyone beautiful enough to cause all the males in the world to fap to her at once. Too many red hair vs blonde, tall vs short, stacked vs skinny, etc arguments.
Farrah Fawcett may have come closest back in the 70s with the red swimsuit poster only because the internet wasn't around to provide other options...

High predation rates may not substantially reduce rodent populations. They are fast breeders and quickly reach the carrying capacity of the local ecosystem. If population goes down females have more food and produce more babies.

When I brought Bailey home, that was the last I ever saw of the field mice. I also added a fellow non-conformist to my home. He doesn't like people in general, stretches out wherever pleases, and seeks attention whenever he feels like. He's a lot like me.
I will give him a home as long as he likes. I wish the women I know were more like him. Quiet, loving, and low maintenance.

Our cat is a working animal. We got her when we were unable to control our mouse problem through traps and poisons. Since we got her, she's solved the mouse problem. Also the rabbit and chipmunk problems, which weren't really problems, but whatever. She really is like a wild animal that swings by the house a few times a day to say hello. Was never a cat person, but she's grown on me.

A lot of hoarders would find less dead cats under the boxes in their living rooms.

Where I live, owls and hawks are a definite risk. But since I keep my buddy in house, I don't have to worry too much.

So basically, "We need them to kill mice"? Pffft. If all the cats died, we'd have an incentive to build a better mousetrap (or more likely, better poisons).

Predators are part of the local ecosystem. They also interfere with the prey animal's food collecting habits (less prey means more active hunting by predators).
Aliens, on the other hand...

The author has such a deep mind, I mean, what if any one species were to suddenly die off. Naw, not too big of a deal to an ecosystem, but cats whoa.....
/the world would also be much less cute.
