Thingy's

In a continuation of a conversation I had with my uncle about a possible UFO sighting (see relevant forum) I asked him if he or anyone he knew had seen strange animals in their journeys.
He's a rugged sort who is both a fisherman and an outdoorsman. He has lived alone in the bush for long periods.
All I managed to get out of him before my parents interruptions steered the convo away (see other post) was that his mate who has a property out woop woop (west of cairns) would on occasion see thing's like cats but not cats walk across a dirt road on his property.
He struggled to say what he meant, he was trying to think of a name for them.
I was giving suggestions: Feral cats? No. Like a puma or mountain lion? No. Quolls? No.
He gave up trying to think under the previously mentioned pressures (Dad: "so what's so and so up to?")
It just gave me an unsettled feeling. People apparently see weird things and never think to mention them to anyone other than mates.
This guy was seeing things like cats but not cats nor any other identifiable creature and just went "Oh well".
