There would be fewer cats than mice because a cat would eat more than one mouse. Therefore, it would make sense if there were more mice than cats or there wouldn't be enough mice to feed all the cats.

What tropical rainforest animals eat plants and meat?

In a stable ecosystem (like a rain forest), there will usually be fewer predators/meat eaters than prey/plant eaters, because the higher up you are on the food chain, the fewer of you there will be; If there were fewer prey animals than predators, they would all be eaten quickly, and the predators would starve and the ecosystem would break down. But if there are more prey animals than predators, the prey animals will live long enough to reproduce and keep the population stable, the predators will still have food and the ecosystem will stabilize.

Why would you expect to be fewer frogs than worms in the ecosystem?

Well, frogs are scientifically nocturnal, therefore leading them to eat the worms, and worms don't eat frogs, so realistically frogs should have more population than worms because they don't get eaten by as many predators no matter what ecosystem they or you or them or him or she or it or anything!
