I suppose he might have been worried the bats might get run over while chomping up the apple core in the road. But there aren't any fruit-eating bats in Yorkshire.

Cats doesn't make much sense, because they don't like fruit generally.

I think he was probably saying "rats", because they'll eat anything. Including batty old men, I imagine, if they had the chance.
