It's more a rabbit-like marsupial that eats bugs.

Things get weird down under.

No....but I took in an ill stray cat here in town that I understand had been out there several years on his own...I could not help notice his size and the strength of his limbs and overall muscular thickness.

The vet said he likely ate meat and heartily...which builds them like that...depending how often they can find such foods. Around here are plenty of birds, rabbits etc. ....he even brought a rabbit home one day!

But I now keep him inside after he got loaded again with fleas...this year is really bad for fleas and insects here...just so wet all the time. So I’m done treating fleas...even with Resolution they still go after him now.

There are some stray cats in my in-law’s neighborhood, and I too noticed that some of them were substantially larger than the domestic version. One in particular was maybe twice as big that I called scar-face, due to half of his face missing probably in battle. Bet he is a bad ass in the alley for sure.

My cat is one of those “Bad a*sses” around here now. You don’t come near his turf without him him going after them...I’ve seen him literally roll down the street in battle! Of course I broke it up but it sure showed me he “rules” this neighborhood.

However, I’m keeping him in now...so we shall see how long that works....

Oh he’s a good inside cat...never gets on anything...barely ever meows...and when he does it’s so mild you can barely hear him... ...he’s got a great nature. HE’s a Tabby cat which explains alot.

S0 cute.
I love birds and cats...I finally decided years ago to make my cats indoor kitties.
Seeing a rare coyote near my patio sealed the deal.

Australia’s population is about 23,000,000. Muslims make up 2.09% of Australia’s population.

So they do not have two million Muslims to begin with. There are only about 382,000 Muslims residing in Australia.

***** “Is feral cat meat lean, healthy and tasty, like deer meat?” ******

Nope cat meat is mushy (don’t ask how I know).
