Kangaroos actually adapt quite easily to life as a domestic pet if they have been raised as household pets. They cannot adapt if they have been taken from the wild. In Australia's southern states, licences are not required to keep kangaroos (as long as the animals have been raised in captivity), and people on large properties certainly do have pet kangaroos of which they are very fond.
Kangaroos do not have a lot of thinking power. They cannot be trained, but they can certainly learn how to get their own way.

One of the main predators of koalas are dingoes, and there are no dingoes on Kangaroo Island. Large areas of Kangaroo Island are protected, which means there are limits to where and how many domestic pets people can have. Feral cats and domestic dogs are two of the biggest killers of koalas. Another dangerous introduced species for koalas is the fox, but strict controls have meant there are no foxes on Kangaroo Island.
Unlikely. The laws concerning domestic animals on Kangaroo Island are very strict, and it is unlikely that cats have been deliberately or accidentally released on the island.

Koalas did not voluntarily go to Kangaroo Island, off the South Australian coast. They were relocated there. During the twentieth century, koalas had disappeared from South Australia, and moving them to Kangaroo Island (and parts of the Fleurieu Peninsula) was an attempt to repopulated South Australia with koalas. The attempt has been very successful - some would say too successful, as Kangaroo Island now has an overpopulation problem, with the debate continuing on whether some of the koala population should perhaps be relocated yet again. The reason why koalas were moved to Kangaroo Island is the lack of predators. One of the main predators of koalas are dingoes, and there are no dingoes on Kangaroo Island.

Yes. Some Australian pet meat rolls contains kangaroo meat, and many pet treats are made from kangaroo meat. Many people have reports benefits from feeding their dogs on kangaroo meat. However, as with all foods, it is best to introduce it gradually. Kangaroo meat is much leaner and higher in protein than other meats, and a sudden change of diet can cause stomach upsets.
