Fishercat
fishercat was observed on Rattlesnake last night. Has any one else seen this animal here? Could be a problem for your cat or dog because they are around 24/7, not just at night

While a Fisher may do in a house cat, that is not normal food for them.
http://www.nhfishandwildlife.com/fisher.php I don't think that a normal size dog would be in any danger. Also, adult mink are often mistaken for Fishers and mink are often seen along the shores of our islands. We have a family of mink over on Welch. |

fishers probably wont bother with your cats and will stay away from your dogs unless cornered, they mostly feed on small game

I have had two cats torn to pieces by fishers over the years. They are the only animal that I would shoot on sight. They are ruthless killers that kill for the fun of it. Don't let your cats out if they are around.

Coyotes
We have 2 packs of coyotes around our house, 5 in one, 7 in the other. We keep our cats in. I would think the fishers would lose to the coyotes so we have not seen any.
The dog is a gentle giant but still 110 pounds so even the coyotes leave him alone |
