Cats are obligate carnivores unlike dogs. They really can't digest vegetation of any sort very well. They also need organ meat.
Ground up whole animals or birds would probably be perfect for them. There can actually be some issues with fish.
According to my cats and dogs, rats don't taste good. Field mice, jumping mice, and shrews are ok. Head is the best. Townsend voles are the absolute best. They fight over them if someone catches one and can't eat it quick enough. The dogs will steal them from the cats.
Even the chickens only like really young and small rats.
