Raccoon - close up!!


The raccoon (Ricky) may be reluctant to come to the back door - after Molly's actions yesterday - but she is still more than keen to come close to me when I put the food down!!!! About 5 feet away.

Miss Molly (our cat) and the raccoon......

Miss Molly - our cat ( 18 years old, 4 pounds and deaf) noticed the raccoon running along the back by the glass doors - and was NOT amused!!! She scared it away once, then came face to face at the back door (through the glass) and hissed at the raccoon.

A shy raccoon and a quick fox visit.

The raccoon was very shy under the shed last evening - not ready to come out. Something may have spooked it during the day. The fox paid a quick visit.

 First, the raccoon comes to the back door a couple of times to remind me that it is time to put the food out!! Then, it comes into the seed trays before I've left - about 6-8 feet away. I'm getting well trained!

A tree raccoon, a fox and three raccoons.......

Getting busier at night - the fox was here for a while and then three raccoons at the same time. The first picture shows where our evening raccoon goes if I don't get the food out soon enough - up the tree!!!!!
