Island of nasty cats

Also interesting, but not about me: Baker Island.

It's a tiny atoll in the South Pacific. Used as a rough airstrip by the US in WWII, it was largely abandoned after the war and is now a nature refuge. The interesting thing is that it had a feral cat population for several decades despite being almost completely devoid of fresh water or foliage. Those must have been some dangerous cats.
