It's normal-sized domestic cats attacking model trains, though the cats look huge in comparison.

1.2: Model Train Scale and Gauge - Railroad Model Craftsman
Common scales: Z: 1:220, N: 1:160, HO: 1:87, S: 1:64, O: 1:48, G: 1:25

How big is a cats paw? - Answers - cat paw width: 3.5 cm (1 1/2 in)

Scaled upward: Z 7.7 m, N 5.6 m, HO 3.045, S: 2.24 m, O: 1.68 m, G: 0.875 m -- standard gauge is 1.435 m

So HO is about right for the first one.
