I would almost say an escaped circus cat lol. Ever heard of "The Shadow People"? I think I just say one.

Fisher Cat. Weasel on steroids, and in MA.

sometimes when a animal is blind or has cataracs it wont reflect the light and the eyes might not appear to glow in the dark.and it sounds like a skunk a big rat or some other animal . im sure thats what is was.

i say it was a lynx with a tumor on the back of its neck

It sounds like a Gargoyle!

I am intrigued by the camel idea, but upon further investigation, the hump configuration would be all wrong. I think it might have been a tiny brahma bull. Did it have horns? Seriously, it was probably a large wild cat (my first thought was cougar, but are they found in Mass?). The hump was probably nothing more than what others say was raised fur. Otherwise, it might have been very well-muscled shoulder blades which would protrude. If not a camel, a brahma bull, or a wildcat, then I'll go along with racoon or possum.

I thought you were banned!!!!!

guys you guys are all wrong it was the CAT IN THE HAT. what else could it be he probably lost his hat so he was bending over (thats the lump) and he then found it at the bushes and vanished like he will usaully do.

Heee heee!! Too funny!!!


The hyena theory doesn't wash with my as they are rather bigger than 2.5 - 3ft. I go for porcupine, or raccoon. But it would be interesting if it were something we've never seen.

IBelieve, did your sister feel afraid of it? Did it seem to be communicating with her, or afraid of her or what?

does chubaca fit in this catorgy to be the creature

i think i found your answer look

http://theshadowlands.net/creature.htm#exmoor

its called the back beast exmor

The Beast of Exmoor just looks like a cat to me.

wasn't that what her sister saw.

I thought she saw a tabby...

so then what did she see

It was a Scrant. Scrants are only interested in Narfs so don't worry about your sister. That is unless your sister spends hours each day in the shower.

If it wasn't a Scrant it was an Urban Fox or Coyote. There are more of them around these days and they are quite resourceful. We have a fox which visits our grounds each night. There are red and gray foxes. It sounds like yours was a gray fox. Coyotes are a little larger than a fox but similar. If they were old animals they may have a hump like you described.
