anybody here familiar with fisher cat behavior?

[magical thyme]

13. until it puffed out its quills, I couldn't be sure if it was a male fisher or porcupine...

but I was guessing fisher because the scat it has left behind looked considerably more like fisher scat than porcupine. Although none of the pix I googled were of critters that were filling up on apples. Its welcome to my leftover apples. I leave them specifically for the wildlife.

I just worry about rabies because it is relatively new to the area and a lot of locals leave their pets unlicensed and unvaccinated. And I worry about my cat because she was stolen by neighbors a few weeks before her spring shots, went totally missing for 2-3 weeks, and since then other than slipping into the barn in the middle of the night to grab a snack, I didn't see her again until they moved a few weeks ago and dumped her. Can't tell you my shock when I saw her on their deck. The newcomers said she walked right into the place like she owned it while they were moving in. So after the shelter spent a year taming her and I adopted her, she's returned to feral and at risk.
