This is difficult to say. Currently there are several wild cat species on the endangered list, but if the question is about Domestic cats, then it is almost impossible to tell. Currently, there is an overpopulation in pet cats due to owners failing to spay and neuter their animals, so the Domestic cat species will not become extinct anytime soon.

We do not know. Rats are highly successful animals, so it will probably be a very long time before they go extinct.

No, the rat population is very robust. There are acturally too many of them, especially in cities.
