yeah. extravagantly poisonous.
But it's mostly small marsupials the cats go for. Never really had a major land-based predator until humans introduced cats so they aren't adapted to deal with it.

OK, the thylacine was at best rare on the Australian mainland. It may never have existed outside Tasmania, but its preferred habitat certainly would have made it uncommon outside of South Australia. In any case, it would have required larger prey - wallabies etc.
