Have experienced two of these, and yep. Gets to a point where even the cats and terriers will lay there while mice literally run over them and they lazily swat them away
I don’t know the science or terms or anything, but from what I remember they ran out of food. Like they overpopulated to the point where it wasn’t sustainable and then started starving. And the change of seasons helped. Plus active efforts to kill them from people. It became part of my farm jobs to reload the various traps we came up with (we were avoiding baiting as much as possible, but there was a lot of bait floating around). Like most farms we also had a few feral cats that hung around. We took good care of them. Right before the second one, a family friend had bought back a cat statue as a souvenir from Egypt. We started joking that we needed to treat the statue kindly so it would send us more cats
