Definitely a Fishercat. (Fisher). Neighbors have had two daytime sightings this weekend on Wolfeboro Neck. One other "sighting" was a Fisher "screech" which I personally heard. (Also day time). Among its varied large inhabitants, one Fisher can be seen close-up at the Squam Lake Nature Center.
Their primary prey is the porcupine, which has made a resurgent population here after an absence of decades. One's "outside cat" is another prey animal.
Even medium-sized dogs can be badly harmed, as reported recently
in Connecticut.
"My" Fisher is probably living in an above-ground burrow on my lot line, shared with those same neighbors.
