Cutest Thing Ever!!!!!

Hey guys,

ok.... I just thought I'd bring a smile to everyone:

As I'm now on my summer break, residing with my folks back home and my lovely cats. I've noticed that we have many racoons this year in our revine and back yard (they mostly come out at night though or early in the morning/late evening). Anyhow, one in particular keeps coming up to my mother's balcony and tries to get in. Well, one of my cats is always in my parents' room and now stands guard near the balcony; so whenever she sees the racoon she growls and tries scaring it off. My mom actually needs her in the room because the cat prevents the racoon from entering while my folks are sleeping.

FYI: My mom has a net or mesh window across the balcony, but there is a sizable hole in it 'cause the cats scratched it to make themselves a 'cat-flap'.

ok have a great day 🙂

You do know that a racoon will kick any domestic cat's ass, right? I just don't want your parents to wake up to a furry masked bandit standing in their bed with a cat fur coat on.

I hate racoons.

ditto...I f**king hate racoons with a passion. I play soccer and if I ever had a chance, I would kick the f**k out of one of them harder than I have kicked a ball at goal from 30 yards out. 🙂 peace

This includes your cat. Sorry...I have no control over.

We are brothers in the struggle!

Man, I always could never stand the things but one time I was standing in my driveway at nite talking to my girl friend and enjoying the warm summer air. I had my back to the street, facing my garage and whispering sweet nothings over th ephone when all of a sudden, my spidey sense started tingling and I turned around to face the street and there was this huge ass hunched-back racoon running up to me with only about four feet to go before he reached my ass...

Racoons are about my favorite animal to look at. I don't want any to come near me though because they are one of the biggest carriers of Rabies in the U.S., I hear they kick ass when they're pissed, and I don't want to die.

my cat can kick my ass

Cutest thing ever????


I think we must be using different lexicons.....

Actually you need to be careful because my cat was huge (27 pounds of muscle, the biggest guy my vet had seen) and he got in a fight with a racoon and the racoon somehow scratched the underside of his belly so bad that his intestines were hanging out. Of course my cat was such a bully that I didn't find out until he came in and I tried to pick him up . . .
anyway, he survived but then he went out and got in another racoon fight and the same thing happened again, seriously. So if your cat is the bully of the block like mine, watch out . . .racoons are no joke.

I personally LOVE racoons, they are beautiful creatures and very tame (around my area anyways). My cat isn't dumb enough to attack one, she just growls to scare it off... as it is they are a little apprehensive to come in to someone's house (unknown territory) and as soon as she growls my mom gets up and the racoon runs away. So she functions as an 'alarm'.

Anyhow..... funny thing is when my cat is outdoors she watches the racoons and dosn't mind them at all... it's only when they impinge on HER territory which is IN the house; she dosn't mind if they stay in the backyard even.

One More Thing....

I find it disturbing that people have such a negative affinity for racoons. They are GOD'S creation and are beautiful and usually tame. I think it is VERY cruel to throw soccer balls at them or try to harm or hurt them in any way. Please refrain from treating animals with cruelty..

Thanks!!! 👍

I hear ya but not all of God's creations are safe to be around. They are often Rabid and don't give a damn where there are at when they are. And there is always the hunchback.

You need need to tie a four leaf clover around that cat's neck.

Maybe just keep the cats inside? I volunteer for a shelter and we're always telling people that. Maybe it's just because we're in the big bad city but I have seen some seriously horrible things. Too many wild animals, dogs, cars around, I guess.

THAT IS SO CRUEL!!!! how would you like to be kept in a cage all day or in a prison?!? I think the ONLY way a cat CAN be kept indoors is if it is VERY old, somehow very sick, or (unfortunately) previously declawed by cruel owners. If you happen to live downtown, in a 'dangerous' or 'busy' part of the city, perhaps you shouldn't get a cat!!!!

Cats have been given claws and sharp teeth for a reason, they are MEANT to be outdoors hunting and enjoying the weather, soaking up some vitamin D (they can even though they have a thick layer of fur). My cats love being outdoors and would suffer if kept inside, even though I have a large house. From the day we got them they expressed a STRONG desire to go outside and are upset being kept in all day. In the chilling winter of Toronto, they often develop 'cabin fever' in the winter and are hard to contain.

bottom line: DO NOT keep your cats indoors, it is against nature and cruel!!

And all this time I thought it was Curiosity that was eviscerating my cats.

Seriously. Racoons are my favorite "hypothetical" animal. Like if they were big sweethearts that liked hugs, I'd have one.

The truth though, is that they often carry Rabies, are much bigger and stronger than a cat, and if pissed will mess just about anybody they want up.

Well mosquitoes are God's creation too (why he didn't create a natural predator for them I'll never know) but that doesn't stop me from killing as many as possible. I guess an animal has to have a face to be cute.

You have a good point. However, a mammal has a more highly developed nervous system and 'emotions' and feels pain more than a mosquito. For example if you were to kill a baby raccoon, its mother would mourn it for a certain time, and feel a certain 'loss'. In addition, raccoons don't multiply like mosquitos and have a much longer life span.

With regard to the rabies comments, yes I agree with all of you: Rabies is a very dangerous contageous disease, HOWEVER, you can usually detect a rabid raccoon very easily. They are usually very sick and frothing at the mouth. In addition, I never implied getting one as a pet or cuddling/petting one, I just think we should treat them with kindness. 😍

How are these racoons getting IN your house? I like to shut and lock my door at night.

The doors are locked, but at the begining of summer, my mom liked to keep the balcony door open (second floor of the house), to let some cool breeze in. Her and my dad sleep there + its on the second floor + we live in a low crime area so they figured it was pretty safe.

UPDATE: we now have turned on the AC so the raccoons are not getting inside, however, when my cat sees them through the window she still get pissed off...... lol
