These cats (some are 2 ft.high themselves) can leap 10 ft in the air to catch a bird. Far out...that says it all

I had a worried call from Australia (and no doubt the world's) only koala chiropractor, Shane Wassington. No joke. He was concerned that if feral cats grow larger, they may become capable of taking on a koala - a species that has never really had to cope with a climbing predator.
We have no idea really whether bigger cats would engage in prey-switching. But Spencer's paper shows new genes into a population can lead to growth in the population. Savannah cats are bred to be big. One of the importing companies says on its website it's "F5s" are more like "F3s" in appearance (ie more like a serval) and once they have the animals in Australia, they'll be breeding for serval appearance - that means big cats doesn't it?
It is all well and good if the cats are sold desexed, but that doesn't stop them killing our wildlife and yes I agree they should cost thousands of $$ to buy, that way you would hope that whoever bought them cared enough (about their money if not the wildlife) to keep the cat in a suitable enclosure.
If you don't want feral pigs, just close down the McDonalds in Elizabeth
Well I can certainly understand why they wouldn't let us bring in a multi generation captive bred Leopard Tortoise from the UK, just imagine the devastation it would cause compared to that harmless little puddy cat.
as said before if we can bring them into ustralia why arnt we aloud to bring red tail boas and corns into oz?
