If they are hungry and can catch them they might. Some will just catch them to toy with them, and some will ignore them entirely. Not all cats eat rats.

How many cats can catch 100 rats in 100 minutes if 5 cats can catch 5 rats in 5 minutes?

I assume those 5 cats are working simultaneously. If you give those 5 cats 20 times the minutes (5min x 20 = 100min), they are gonna catch 20 times the rats (5 rats x 20 = 100 rats). So 5 cats can catch 100 rats in 100 minutes.
