Oh, That Food Is Unsafe for Humans? Let’s Give it to Our Pets

That's completely false. A pair of 30 Lbs. raccoons can take out a cat over their food bowl in a second. A wily cat can evade them for a little while, but during the run up to mating season, late October, November and early December when they are ravenously feeding? If you do not protect your cats and dogs at night, you are asking for heartbreak and trouble.

I was looking at my laptop, (cat was in), flipped on the light and opened the sliding glass door. I intended to go out on the porch to smoke a cigarette (I know, nasty habit). Two raccoons the size of medium dogs rushed the door before I even got it open. I had to drop the laptop to close the glass door. Um, they weren't small, they weren't shy, they rushed the patio door and were easily the size of a spaniel with some damn teeth. I couldn't get the door closed quick enough and they were growling and huffing to come in.

I thought they were cute, but they are nothing of the sort and dangerous, when they get to be 30 FUCKING pounds with teeth like a damn lion. They don't go alone. The go in groups. That should scare the shit out of you, and does me, since I have experienced it.

EDIT: Stupid people (and I'm one of them that has done so) that feed raccoons cause a fucking plague of them. It took me about 2 months to see that. They get extremely dangerous (one grabbed my leg when I was rushing into the house to keep me there, and it was only about 13 lbs (larger than my cat).

Big ones come then, like the fucking 30 lbs. ones that charge the door at night so that you can't even go outside at night come.

I love animals. I love nature. It's not fucking natural to have fucking 30 lbs. raccoons charge the door because you were so stupid that you didn't take the cat food in at night.

I do now. And they still hang around, but I am trying to discourage them.
