Last time my cat got out he got the crap beat out of him by a raccoon

Still bolts for the door anytime it opens

I’m sorry I shouldn’t be laughing at this, but I can’t stop picturing it ahaha

That’s not even the best part!

My next-door neighbor is a sweet older lady who takes care of the neighborhood’s stray cats (paid to have them fixed and vaccinated) and she leaves a bowl of food out for them

Said bowl of food is also frequented by a family of raccoons, so we have several lazy, well-fed raccoons who have been around lazy, well-fed cats for their entire lives. I’ve seen the two species playing together and eating shoulder-to-shoulder

Long story short, the only way my cat would have gotten into that fight is if he picked it himself, which he 100% would do.

I’d love some pictures of them eating side by side lol
