The correct name for e so-called native cat is "quoll". these animals, which are marsupials (like koalas) do not generally pose a risk to koalas. Koalas and quolls are around the same size, and quolls a unlikely to challenge adult koalas, or to even try and take a joey from a female koala's back. However, quolls are certainly a threat to juvenile koalas which have only just left their mothers.
Non-native, feral cats are considerably more dangerous, and certainly eat koalas.

However, lions do not eat koalas, for the simple reason that koalas are native to Australia alone, and there are no wild lions in Australia.

Dingoes are opportunistic feeders, so they eat any prey they can catch. In the wild, koalas spend most of their time in trees, so it is unusual for a koala to become prey to a dingo.
