Guest guest Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Last night, I was about to go to bed but realized one of my kitties wasn't in yet so went out to call her. I saw a blur of gray fur being chased by my kitty and heard her hiss as she ran off. Then I looked near where she had been and saw cuddled together and trying to be as small as possible, two baby raccoons! They were near the kitties' water bowl outside. The 2 were adorable and obviously scared without their mother who is what my cat was chasing off. I went around the front and found Lily and got her in. But I took one more look at the baby raccoons, still cuddled in the little space near the water bowl. Mamma hadn't returned yet. I spoke softly to them and made some trilling noises. One of them seemed to relax and trilled 2 times at me. I left them then and told them they were welcome to come here. I also thought I'm glad my cats are up to date on their rabies shots! I just thought that was pretty cool since I live in absolute suburbia with only a small mountain preserve about a mile away. Not a place for raccoons, I wouldn't have thought. Coyotes live there. Just wanted to share that. I don't know if they had a message for me or not, but I really enjoyed seeing them! Love, Valarie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
