The last three nights I have caught a raccoon eating our cat food by our front door. I'm worried about whether it is a threat to my cats, especially the kittens. It is very, very big. I would say about 4 times the size of my largest male cat. I read online that they mostly eat berries and nuts, but sometimes birds and young rabbits.
Has anyone had any experience with this? I have just been opening the door and yelling at it and it will leave for a while. One time when I saw it was coming down the sidewalk and one of my cats was just laying there looking at it, not getting upset at all, so I don't know if I'm overreacting. I didn't want to wait to see if they were friendly or not.
If anyone has any advice let me know. Thanks.
