What's the best way to decrease the cat population?
<|assistant|>
The best way to decrease the cat population is through education and sterilization efforts. Spaying and neutering cats prevents unwanted litters, and educating the public about the importance of doing so can also help decrease the population.  Additionally, providing food and water for feral cats can help them survive without having to resort to killing rodents, thereby decreasing the need for cats.
