So I was sitting at my dining room table in front of a big glass sliding door and I saw this long animal, similar to the one in the picture attached.
I thought it was a wolverine at first, but Wikipedia reports they don't live around here. I'm between Albany NY and NYC geographically. The picture attached is a fisher cat, but it looks bigger than plenty of the pictures that Google spits back at me.

I should probably make it more clear, in that I'm in a wooded area pretty far away from any remotely biggish city.

Hi,
So I have a 15 year old domestic short hair that has had anal gland problems since I adopted him 14 years ago. He is now straining in the litter box unable to defecate. He'll try and then give up and his butt will be poking out and then he'll puke and try again and usually it passes.
I've been to the vet and there's no abdominal obstruction. He is slightly dehydrated but still within normal range. I give him raw food because he has pancreatitis and dry food makes him puke. I've tried at least a dozen different fibre/stool supplements but none seem to work. (Pumpkin, psyllium husk, various health food and drug store types, hair ball chews, olive oil... )
He puked four times last night (he always pukes twice in a row) and was straining and gave up and wanted to lie down and I petted him and he was growling at me and then went again and puked more and then walked around upset and then went again and was able to pass.
He scoots a lot and sometimes has plugged anal glands but not always. They are not infected.
I have no idea what to do and the vet has nothing else but very expensive tests/x ray/ultrasounds that I'm not able to afford.
Any ideas?

a marten

Martens are much smaller than fishers
It may have been an otter
Within a half mile of river stream or creek?
Mink.

Wait what. The animal was bigger than the pictures?
An otter is about 4 or more feet long. And waddles as it walks. A mink is 15" and fast as a cat.
