    Back in the semi-woody environs here, someone bought 2 properties, tore both houses down and tore out some of the woods, to put up a new mc-mansion. It’s not that close to me but in the vincinity. Apparently they disturbed the living areas of some fisher-cats, who are now stalking the entire neighborhood, and taking out pet cats.

    A fisher-cat is a type of weasel. Pretty big one too.

    This video shows the reverse of the normal–here a cat is chasing a fisher. Fishers are pretty big considering.

    That has to be a baby fisher cat or a really brave / stupid house cat in the vid.

    Fisher cats get bigger than your average house cat, and are NASTY. A few years back we had one roaming our neighborhood, and they have a screech that is like a toddler having her finger nails ripped out. I mean, totally blood curdling.

    We had friends over and I downloaded a video of a fisher cat’s screech. When I played it, my house cat booked down the stairs into the basement and didn’t come back up until the next morning. Probly thought one of those monsters was loose in our house! Yes, I’m mean to small creatures, but only after they are mean to me first (damn cat wakes me up between three and four AM every morning I’m home).

    Yeah that;’s what I thought too. All the other vids I saw in screening to post one, though, were of Fisher-cats killing other critters. Got so I wanted to see one being chased instead.

    Here a guy saves a fox from a fisher-cat. You see the F-C (an adult this time) at 2:18 in.
