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.

No. If the two animals occupied the same continent, a lion would probably eat a koala when it moved between trees.

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.

Dogs are one of the main threats to koalas. Dogs are natural hunters, and even domesticated dogs will often hunt down and kill koalas, although they do not usually eat them.

No. Possums are not carnivores, and they certainly do not eat koalas.

Why do dingo dogs eat koalas?

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. Also, dingoes do not generally inhabit the same areas as koalas in any great number if at all. Usually koalas are not troubled greatly by predators, and are more likely to be killed while crossing the road, or by being savaged by unrestrained domestic dogs.
