This livestock would have eaten-up the vegetation faster than the cats would have eaten up the lizards IMO. The only solution would be for the livestock and cats to eat manna along with the humans. Manna was the food normally eaten by heavenly beings such as angels. Heaven would not be heavenly without cats, so obviously manna is also suitable for cats.
Another odd disconnect in the Exodus story: The Israelites supposedly took huge herds of livestock with them, yet they got all butt-hurt because they were bored of eating Manna, so God sent them doves (iirc - it was a bird) to eat for days and days and days, until they got sick of bird meat and begged to have manna back.
Why didn't they simply augment their manna diet with some of their livestock? There would have been ample meat among all those cattle, sheep, and goats. So what happened to all the livestock?
