Fisher (also known as Fisher Cats) although they are a part of the weasel family. Not a cat.
They are vicious predators.
They ambush their prey by waiting up in a tree.
Then come down the tree and kill their prey.
They are very common here in NH.
The Manchester double A baseball team is named the Fischer Cats.
They have become very adaptive here.
Preying on house cats.
My in laws lost a cat to a Fischer.
They could tell because they found a pool of blood at the base of a tree in their backyard fifty feet from the house.
No more Fluffy.
You also see people that put up posters on telephone polls and post on Facebook.
Missing cat.
If found call...
What they may not realize IF they are new to town or they just don’t want to tell the kids is that Fluffy was dinner.
The same thing happens around here with Coyotes.
We had three cats go missing at our previous house.
Not a trace.
No carcass on the road.
Just gone.
FYI, the Fischer has a blood curdling cry.
It sounds like a baby crying.
Yes I have heard their yelp, cry, whatever. From my friends videos. Seems like a real (blank). Glad I live in the city.
We have fisher cats in Maine, too.
I’ve never seen one; they’re called “The Ghost of the Woods.”
That fischercat presents a lotta competition for the hatian migrants
We have fishers in Oneida County (central NY). One went after my neighbor’s cats. First time I heard it screaming in the middle of the night freaked me out. I’ve only seen it once.
