If you’re a squirrel, a fisher cat on your tail is pretty much your worst nightmare. Thanks to their amazing climbing skills, these fast, sharp-toothed, weasel-like predators (members of the mustelidae family) are squirrel-hunting specialists. They also dine on snowshoe hares, mice and other small mammals (apparently, even porcupines aren’t safe – fisher cats have been known to flip them over and eviscerate them).
In light of that information, we’d advise against putting your money on the squirrel in this battle.
