    Thankfully, Martens and other members of their related species (Mustelidae) are not of huge size otherwise due to their aggressive nature they would have been systematically removed long ago. Can you imagine one the size of a Wolf? It doesn’t bear thinking about does it? I had a ferret less than a quarter the size of my cat and if allowed would have attacked it, probably my Jack Russell as well, a formidable little creature I’m sure you would agree.

      @Antony Steele, actually, the Mustelidae family now only contains the subfamily Mustelinae, which contains thirty extant species within twelve genera and two tribes, the tribes are Neogalini (New World Weasels, Ferrets, and Minks) with nine extant species within four genera being the Haida Ermine (Leucictis haidarum), the Alaskan Weasel (Neogale eskimo), the American Ermine (Neogale richardsonii), the American Little Weasel (Neogale allegheniensis), the Colombian Weasel (Neogale felipei), the Amazon Weasel (Neogale africana), the Black-Footed Ferret (Neoputorius nigripes), and the American Mink (Neovison vison) and Mustelini (Old World Weasels, Ferrets, and Minks) with twenty-one extant species under eight genera being the Siberian Weasel (Kolonocus sibiricus), the Japanese Weasel (Kolonocus itatsi), the Chinese Mountain Weasel (Oreogale altaica), the Vietnamese Mountain Weasel (Oreogale tonkinensis), the Indonesian Mountain (Oreogale lutreolina), the Yellow-Bellied Weasel (Flavogaster kathiah), the Black-Striped Weasel (Cryptogale strigidorsa), the Bare-Footed Malayan Weasel (Pocockictis nudipes), the White-Headed Malayan Weasel (Pocockictis leucocephalus), the Least Weasel (Mustela nivalis), the Stoat (Mustela erminea), the Missing-Toothed Pygmy Weasel (Mustela astoodonnivalis), the Sichuan Weasel (Mustela russelliana), the Mediterranean Weasel (Mustela numidica), the Egyptian Weasel (Mustela subpalmata), the Morocco Weasel (Mustela moroccana), the Algerian Weasel (Mustela algeriensis), the European Ferret (Putorius putorius (cladistically including the Domestic Ferret (Putorius putorius furo))), the Steppe Ferret (Putorius eversmannii), the European Mink (Palaeovison lutreolus), and the Caucasian Mink (Palaeovison turovi), many other taxa formerly included within Mustelidae are moved to different families, otters are reranked as a full family (Lutridae), while many other subfamilies have been relocated and merged into different families, the subfamilies Mydainae (Stink Badgers and Fossil Relatives) and Mephitinae (Skunks) are relocated to the family Mephitidae, the four badger subfamilies Mellivorinae (Short-Faced Badgers), Helictidinae (Ferret Badgers), Melinae (Old World Badgers), and Taxideinae (New World Badgers) are all relocated under one family (Melidae), and the subfamilies Guloninae (Wolverine, Tayra, Martens, and Fisher) and Ictonychinae (Zorillas, Muishund, Shulang, Huro, and Grisons) are both now classified under the family Ictonychidae, while the families Melidae (Badgers), Lutridae (Otters), and Ictonychidae (Zorillas, Muishund, Shulang, Huro, Grisons, Wolverine, Tayra, Martens, and Fisher) are all grouped with Mustelidae (only subfamily Mustelinae) under the superfamily Musteloidea, the family Mephitidae (Skunks and Stink Badgers) is not actually part of this superfamily and instead evolved independently, the Mephitidae family actually belongs to a whole different superfamily, which is the superfamily Procyonoidea, making skunks and stink badgers more closely related to raccoons, bassarisks, coatis, olingos, olinguitos, kinkajous, and red pandas than they are to weasels, ferrets, minks, badgers, otters, zorillas, muishunds, shulangs, huros, grisons, wolverines, tayras, martens, and fishers.

      The bigger energy needs caused by the increased size probably outweight the additional hunting success. The niche of the animal is being an agile, small and good climbing predator. It doesn't need size.

    Well marten will think twice about attacking adult healthy cat but they often are insane enough to do it and have a reputation of cat killers in rural areas. They will try to avoid one another but if they face each other marten will attack. Definitely no love for one another.
    Regarding resemblence to honey badger, they are not particularly close but martens are close to wolverines, maybe not as tough as honey badgers but even more ferocious. Also marten's temper is more wolverine-like than for example weasel-like. I mean cats are also efficient killers but martens are scary.

Felidae (Cat-like kin) is the family that includes the felines and Pantherins know as the Cats. Canidae (Dog-like kin) is the family that includes the canines known as Dogs, Wolves, Jackals, Foxes. So Martins are in the Order-Carnivora, Suborder-Caniformia, Infraorder-Arctoidea, subclass-Mustelida, Superfamily-Musteloidea, Family-Mustelidae, subfamily-Guloninae, Tribe-Martini, genus-(Martes).
