It looked just liked a black cat but in a caguar version.

A Beautiful Large ‘big cat’ I am convinced is not a bobcat padded gracefully, but quickly across our backyard. Not brown but a shade of rich tawny color nearer to cinnamon. Looked like a short hair, not fluffy. Not Furry. Not fat. It was very toned, muscular, and had a fast walk with a lift in it, almost prance like. It was fascinating and scary at the same time, plus not knowing what I was seeing out the window! I was a few seconds prior, out on the deck preparing to cook outside and walked back inside to get the utensils. As I turned to walk back out to the deck, I saw through the double window a big animal, (what I want to describe as a puma looking animal. It was tall, guessing 3 feet tall or more..and about 4 - 4 1/2 ft long. It pranced uninterested past our cold Weber Grill and on a focused purposeful track in to the woods. It was an impressive lean shape and height. I was awe struck and scared but safe In The Kitchen yet was on my way back out to the deck and The Timing of the moment Was Amazing. It was fast. It had no idea I was just out there. I saw it for 3 seconds maybe 4 seconds. The house sits near to Mt. Pisgah in Northborough, MA. There was a bobcat here in June but looked nothing like this impressive animal. This was absolutely not a dog. It was “lion” like. The whole image I watched was of its moving from my left to right toward the woods. So I did not see its face straight on. I know what I saw. If it is a Bob cat then it looks entirely different than the Bob cat from June, which there is a great Bob cat picture of what we saw on the internet. Again, this amazing animal July 6th, I hope has more sightings. I am looking in to buying a trail came (or two) today. It was That Amazing to see. Keep a look out Central Mass residents!

When I explained what I saw folks would respond “we don’t have cats like that around here”. Growing up in the woods and believing the same thing I just shook it off as something else.

Last night at about 9:00 I was driving the full length of MA RT 8 heading north from CT. In that remote area South of Otis I was the only car on the road when a tawny brown colored cat appeared in my headlights. It was not at a full run as it crossed RT 8 from East to West, but it was at a fast determined walk. I got a good look at it since it was only 30 ft in front of me. The first thing that was unusual about this cat was it's length which was about 48 inches long head to long tail. This was no bobcat or domestic house cat. Secondly, its color was an unusual deep rusty brown. Its gate had all the style of a wild animal on the hunt for game. The 4th thing that was strange was it's extremely long tail that was similar in length to the body. Makes me want to buy a dash cam since the whole sighting was not over 4 seconds before it disappeared into the woods. Any ideas?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6459870751232627910.post-67910662444986554822018-02-18T20:12:55.965-05:002018-02-18T20:12:55.965-05:00I think I have one in HolyokeI think I have one in HolyokeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6459870751232627910.post-17559021958756310722014-12-16T09:31:51.437-05:002014-12-16T09:31:51.437-05:00We live in the burbs surrounded by woods. Recently...We live in the burbs surrounded by woods. Recently, late one night, I saw a large shadow pass the top of my bedroom window blocking out our outdoor lamp's light from shining in. The bottom window shutters were closed. Again, two nights ago, while in our screened in porch, I caught movement when something blocked the light from the top of our kitchen window. I saw what looked to be a very large cat jump from the roof of our single story and disappear into the back woods of our house. Please note that these bottom window shutters were also closed. The animal moved with such agility and speed. Only a feline could moved like that. I could not see the coloring but it appeared to be a dark color. This is exciting, but at the same time a little scary. I know what I saw, but I am leery to report, because....who would believe me. And...do not to forget the fact that this animal is hanging around my house. FYI...although there are many wild animals in this area., i.e., coyotes,, fisher cats, feral cats etc., there was no mistaking the one visiting my roof.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6459870751232627910.post-62142170248639366272014-03-19T21:23:44.507-04:002014-03-19T21:23:44.507-04:00I actually saw a cat like this in South Acton Mass...I actually saw a cat like this in South Acton Massachusetts around this time.

Unfortunately, it's a cheap point-and-shoot, and the photos are lousy. However, the cat was about the size of a retriever or setter dog, sort of a charcoal gray in color, not tawny. I wondered at the time if it could be a bobcat, though I had never seen one before. So glad to see this photo of the mystery cat, because that's what it looked like, only (and this is difficult tell) perhaps slightly smaller. But, muscular and beefier than a housecat, as you say. And much larger.Jacqueline T.
