Deb, the quoll is soft like a cat, he is addictive to cuddle, very inquisitve, once full grown they weigh around 4kg (8+ pounds) Their jaws are incredibly strong, they can bite through metal and will chew through wire to get into chicken coops etc but they are the coolest animals, we love them.
Cheech sounds like a real character, glad you have him in your life to provide happiness and clean up duty!!
