Yes, fisher cats are found in Maine. They are medium-sized carnivorous mammals belonging to the weasel family and are known for their agility and hunting skills. Fisher cats thrive in forested areas, making Maine's woodlands a suitable habitat for them. Despite their name, they are not actually cats but are more closely related to weasels and minks.
Some people think that Maine Coons can be identified by the "M" on their foreheads. Actually, the "M" is present in almost every cat with tabby markings and many Maine Coons are tabbies. Solid color, bi-color and tortoiseshell Maine Coons without tabby markings will not have the "M". So this is not a good answer as to how distinguish between a Maine Coon and a Ragamuffin.
