Ever seen a Fisher Cat? Harmless to humans. Curious they but keep distance
usually. Was out in yard once near woods edge. Turned around and one was
just sitting maybe 10 ft away looking at what I was doing. Probably
thinking <"wonder if he has any pets?>.
When they move in they clean out all critters eating them - squirrels,
rabbits, house cats, small dogs, porcupines, anything. When cupboard is
bare, they move on to another area. May return months later to see if
supply is replenished.
