Do pine martens eat cats?

James found some mystery poo in the woodshed last night.


After a bit of sleuthing and forcing all friends who dropped by to look at the poo and give us their opinions, we have deduced that it is from a pine marten. Now we want to know how Nevis the cat will fare with a pine marten living in his territory. We don't think he'd get eaten by it, but we suspect there could be some pretty big vet bills involved if they did decide to challenge each other. Unfortunately Nevis is the kind of cat that sleeps in a baby bassinet and I don't think he'd do to well in a fight with something that kills things for a living. Any advice out there?
