Breakfast with Raccoons

[Tide In Mind Out]

Watch, it's kinda cute. It was a little after 5:00 am Wednesday morning. I came out of the shower, glanced out the window, and saw this on the back porch. Our kitty didn't even seem to care

 

[mReEtTaIlRsEkD]

Whore.

 

[NinjaKitten]

aww thats cute, they're buddies!

 

[Captain Beard]

Why didn't you send Derick to catch and eat it?

 

[reese_apoc]

yeah, that happens at my house too.

Orange Raccoon?

I was more focused on the dryer. Put a little lithium grease on that bearing...

That show was weird.

In my experience when cats and raccoons meet it usually ends up in fatal injuries for the cat. I suppose in this case resources are ample and it makes more sense for the animals to ignore each other than to risk injury fighting.

Yep, I read quite extensively about behavioural characteristics in predatory animals pretty recently.

It seems that the cognitive checklist (so to speak) when it comes to hunting can be rewritten depending on circumstance. The example was that a cat will always hunt and kill a single mouse when in confinement together, but with 10 mice they kill a few and play with the rest and with 100 they tend to just ignore them. Perhaps the same sorta thing.

oh and SO CUTE!

Your kitty probably thinks that they're just big cats

Raccoons! I always see raccoons and possums scurrying about by the lake at night. I came home last night to a massive possum sitting on the curb picking at a squirrel carcass , it was grim.

 

[Captain Beard]

Did you get pictures?

[Altitudes]
