But you'd better believe the pet door is now closed at night! Kittehs inside, raccoons outside.<br /><br />and queen, no, I hadn't cooked anything smelly that day. Come to think of it, I didn't cook anything at all ... :)<br /><br />Birdie, it's really strange - I'd never seen any sign at all of raccoons around the house until my visitor showed up - hopefully he was just passing through.<br /><br />and Ginny, the restaurant is CLOSED!

Put a pot and a spoon next to your bed to raise a safe ruckus if he's back. Better yet, bring the kitties in at night and close off the flap.<br /><br />Raccoons are a rabies repository. I had a rabid raccoon on my deck one year, and in the Kingston/Woodstock area rabid raccoons have been known to trap people in their cars (shades of Cujo!) for hours.<br /><br />Healthy ones are smart, cute, and fun to watch, but unless you know they're healthy, they are best avoided.<br /><br />(Oh, I'm actually glad it was a raccoon. For an instant there I was afraid it was going to be a bear.)~~Silkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122262422346224632noreply@blogger.com
