Who introduced cats into Australia?
It is believed that cats were first introduced into Australia by Asian traders who sought sea-slugs (trepang) off the northern coasts as early as the 1500s. The cats were kept on board ship to keep the rat population down, but it was inevitable that some of the cats escaped from the ships onto land. Cats were established in Australia before the First Fleet and the days of early colonial settlement.

When was the cat introduced to Australia and why?
Cats were probably not so much introduced, but more likely they escaped from ships. It was common practice to keep cats on ships to keep the rodents under control, so they most likely arrived with the First Fleet. However, it is also highly probable that some of the early settlers also brought cats with them for the same reason or as pets. There is evidence to suggest that domestic cats arrived in Australia long before the First Fleet. It would appear that the Macassan traders who sought trepang (sea slugs) off Australia's northern coast some 500 years before the First Fleet had ships' cats, some of which stayed behind in Australia when the ships moved on. Naturally, these cats turned feral once they had to fend for themselves, and with no natural predators in Australia, their population proliferated rather well.
