That is cute. I used to work security at night,and every night on my rounds,at the same time,I'd leave a bag of nuts for the racoons. Got to where they would be sitting there waiting for their nuts.

I was doing my rounds one night and thought I heard people talking between the tankers. Kept walking, was about to pull my .38 when three young Raccons came bounding out of the darkness and were playing and jumping each other....'bout scared the crap out of me!

Thumbs up

Caught one in a live animal trap about two years ago who had been sleeping inside my fireplace flue. Had to install a flue cap on both flues because there's so many coons in this area. My neighbor's dog has killed two in his backyard.

While I was growing up one of my jobs was to milk the cow (for real). I entered the barn one morning and reached for the light and got a hand full of fur! I jumped back and kicked the door open to get a little more light and saw a huge coon climbing the wall. I was lucky that it didn't latch onto my arm and have breakfast.
