Broski these countries already have lots of stray cats and dogs. Number of domestic cats is dwarfed by them. No need to keep the focus on domestic cats.
And people who adopt cats shouldnt be adding to the problem. Outdoor cats have a much lower life expectancy than an indoor one, if you let your cat outdoors youre actively putting them in more danger and you shouldnt have them.
Domestic cat is the name of the species. It includes the stray ones.
