There's this racoon that keeps trying to get in my house. He gets in through the cat door so we have to close it up at night. Last night I was working late at my desk and he came on the front porch (probably already tried the back door but was denied) and started goin through the recycling. There's a window right there so I banged on it and he just kinda looked at me like "yeah? bring it bitch". So I started making gestures and the lil fuck gets up on his back legs and starts frontin. So I was scared, cuz I don't want rabies. I opened the window and started grabbing shoes to throw at him meanwhile making some lame yells and clapping noises. He ran off the porch. My adrenaline was pumpin. But then, I felt bad. Poor lil guy, he's just trying to survive. They're scavegers - what are we supposed to do, not let them go through our garbage? I mean I don't like him around because I definitely don't want him in the house and I don't want him to fight with my cats, but I do think that it is just natural for him to scavenge. What else do racoons live on? Do they hunt? Can they get a job? And isn't it kind of adorable that they have those little burglar masks on considerng their nocturnal occupations? Who thought of that detail? brilliant! I definitely couldn't tell my guy from last night in a line-up. So, anyway, I don't know what to do about that racoon. I don't want to start a war with him, he's so cute.
