Jamaica Plain News talks to a guy who was walking his dog when they encountered the beast. No harm came to anyone; and yes, there are pics (well, a pic) so it did happen.

Fisher cat is a pretty common colloquialism in parts of New England that see these guys. I know it makes wildlife people cringe though, because of its inaccuracy.

Fishermen don't like being confused with these animals. The things don't even have to get a license!
Well, Cats Don't Like Being Confused With Them Either !

how it’s not intimidated at all by the guy or his Lab—no shy wildlife here. Those things will f up even a big dog.

A couple months back there was a dead one on W Milton St. in Readville. I saw its face when I drove by and thought it was a cryptid because I'd never seen anything like it before in 20 years of living in Boston!
See one live and up close ,

Even when they are not screaming!
I'm glad the ones in the Fells seem to have retreated into the woodlands. They killed several cats and dogs a couple years back.

The Fisher is a mustelid (weasel family), not a feline. I can understand the confusion, though -- both are agile and like to kill things.

not a guy, who spotted the fisher.
But do visit the woods. A great urban woodland.
