We shouldn't allow ANY cats into Australia !!  We have enough trouble
getting rid of the existing feral mongrels.

Our female cat is normal size, maybe even a little small, but she's an
absolute terror.  She shreds cat toys as fast as we can supply them, and
when she decides she doesn't want to be held, you normally bleed. Having
said that, she's lovely to have around.

Any larger, however, and she wouldn't be manageable at all.  I can only
imagine what something like her only double normal size would be like.

(I have to add that our cats are safely locked up in the house or the
adjoining cat run at ALL times.)

Super ferals, ust what we need.  Can a normal cat really not jump 2m
from a standing start?  Perhaps I've only seen them jump when running,
but I would have thought they could jump further than that.
