  1. I noticed the cat and was very surprised to see it calmly among the raccoons.
    We once heard a racket out on my porch and ran to see what was going on. It was a HUGE raccoon that had wandered in and was trying to get out. My cat (God rest his soul) was guarding the exit and hissing and swiping at the raccoon like a maniac. The raccoon could have swallowed my cat in one bite but it was terrified. My cat, who was afraid of a million things, became a vicious mountain lion when defending his turf.
    Lucky me, I had to run out there and scoop up the cat so that the raccoon could get out. i thought they were both gonna bite me.

  2. See that cat? I went outside one evening and my cat Duke was running with the raccoons across the street in the field. Such a bad ass. I’ll never forget the look of pride and exhilaration on his face. That cat saved my life once (long story) and I miss him terribly. I loved that feline. :*)

  3. I don’t like the looks of the way those raccoons were walking. They looked like their joints were stiff.

    This idiot better hope animal control finds those things or he’s in for a whole lot of shots – or he could just contract some terrible disease and die.

    Either way, the general public hopefully will learn a lesson about approaching wild critters who aren’t afraid of you.

  4. Pfffft. If I had raccoons in my neighborhood, the closest I’d come to them is to put out a pan of water, back away, then toss them whatever food I wanted to feed them with.
    I’ve run across them before, I NEVER want to get that close.

  5. I know of a scuba diver in Florida that got off on feeding barracuda by hand. He had the scars to prove it. What a dumb ass. If there are anythings that are not cute, cuddly or intellectual they are barracuda and leftists.

  6. We feed the coons … you roll em the grapes, Jolly Ranchers, or whatever … NEVER try to hand it to em … they’re just like their feral urban cousins – they don’t appreciate ANYTHING! They think you OWE it to em!

    As a person who makes a living off of trapping coons in residential situations – that is a recipe for ending up with a lot of Raccoons on your property.

    Trust me when I say it isn’t as Disney as it sounds.

    People pay me good money to be rid of them.

    #1 They will destroy whatever they want. Probably a weak spot in the construction of the house if they’re checking it out for shelter. That won’t stop until they’re gone.

    Everyone likes to park their butt next to food and water for the long haul. Wow – they found heaven. Expect them to stay and others join them. I’ve seen up to 23 raiding a community garbage bin.

    Easy pickin’s = Easy livin’ Who wouldn’t settle in?

    #2 Disease carrier. From rabies to distemper. Not to mention the fleas & ticks that, most assuredly, will show up at some point and become a serious health problem for every mammal in the vicinity.

    Another angle: You don’t want to contribute to them not being able to successfully forage for their own food in the wild. You’ll end up with Welfare Raccoon Dependents and all their offspring.

    Bottom line: You never want to encourage them to hang around your property unless you have plans for them.

    Raccoon fur does have a market value.

  8. Them’s good eatin’, then you can make a nice hat.
    If you’re selling one, be sure to leave a paw on, they will think it’s a cat if you don’t.
