In the short and medium-terms, it would have to be rats which take over the world.

Really? wouldn't you're average moggy feast on any rat that showed it's face?

But then would the dogs kill the cats, or would all the dogs be locked up and starve?
Ants, long term. Immune to any known disease/bacteria, all work together, breed in their billions, strong, fearless.
Live off the land and eachother.

Wow !! is that really true? really?
I was putting my money, longer term on bacteria.... (living in harmony with ants)... but what would bacteria develop into, long term?
Rats are far more prolific breeders than cats; the place would soon be overrun.
Ants are immune.
Bacteria would lay dormant or die out. Ants would be taking over lands and exploring new lands by crossing rivers, streams and oceans, on leaves and branches.

more food for cats?
And the newer cats that have 17 young, given the amount of food available.... after all, rats don't kill cats do they?
Rats and cats would both die out from disease eventually.

But that's part of the question... what is the short term? 10 years? 1 year? 100 years?
Might get a few more Tigers and Elephants repopulating their numbers.
Mayhem in the cities though.
The problem would be that along with man so would go the demise of animal husbandry.
I would pretty much say that Fox and Deer populations would expand out of control since there are no natural predators such as wolves and bears in the UK anymore. Cats and foxes would probably ultimately be involved in a population squeeze. Rats goes without saying but they would be no more prevalent than now as human control only scratches at their population so its size would be probably even less with no human sourced waste.
