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.
