My thanks to Bob Forsyth (at <>) who supplied (12/8/01 5:17 PM) some very interesting net sites re feral cats.  I found the material from the Commonwealth's Environment Australia particularly interesting and informative.

And    http://www.aiheu.org/catpix/feraldomesticcat.html    while not providing data on the size of feral cats in Australia did come up with the general advice that in the wild domestic cats revert to the original wild type and such ferals can be up to 24 inches long for head/body, (plus 10 inches of tail) and weighing up to 15 pounds.  That makes for a pretty fearsome predator.
