Aquatic feline?

Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

Through the Speculative-Evolution Deviantart group, I uncovered this:River Cat (Leon del Lago) For those who won't bother with the artist's comments, it's a water-dwelling feline taking the role of a crocodile. I want to know, could this come to pass?

But I'm sure this could evolve on a smaller scale. As for that quadropedal "parrot", I like it. But parrots are unlikely as ancestors. The only terrestrial parrot is the kea from New Zealand and that's going extinct. It would be far more likely to be descended from the hoatzin or some kind of galliform.
