Stoats, also known as ermine, are small weasels. They belong to the family Mustelidae which includes otters, mink, ferrets, badgers, the fisher, martens, polecats, the wolverine and the tayra.
Absolutely, and their fur is very valuable.

You saw either an ermine - a stoat with winter colouration - or a weasel, some populations of which, especially in areas that have snowy winters such as Montana, also grow a white coat with a black tip to the tail, in winter.
it is that a snake eats a stoat and a stoat eats a rats
A stoat and a weasel are very similar animals.
"I went to the tavern and ordered an Irish stoat." A stoat is a small, thin animal with brown fur that's similar to a weasel. FYI- In the first sentence, stout, not stoat would be correct.
A stoat turns brown with a white belly in spring.
I assume you mean "What animal is a stoat"....a stoat is a member of the weasel family.
A stoat could kill a cat if it is stronger than the cat. If a stoat has a disease and bites the cat or causes injury, it could kill the cat. Otherwise a cat will usually be able to defend itself from a stoat.

The terms stoat and ermine are terms for the long tailed and short tailed weasels in their winter coats. A stoat is a weasel. I has a black tip on its tail and turns white in the winter keeping the black tipped tail. Stoats are larger and have black tips on the end of their tails all year round The Stoat can be easily told from the weasel by the simple fact that its tail is blacked and it's figure is slightly the bigger.
