OK racoons are the smartest little critters I have ever run into and we have our first little brood this year - unfortunately. It all started with me wondering how the cats were eating so much food so fast. Then I wondered if I was leaving the cat food lid open in the garage last winter. You see in the winter time at night it is really cold so we bring the dogs were indoors each night. Then one morning after letting the dogs out they started going crazy barking, when I went out to investigate I saw a racoon in the tree! It was a pretty big one but as we have a lot of woods I figured there was nothing I could do short of shooting it and that was not going to happen.
Then things started to get worse and worse. The raccoons started to raid the cat food each night and it was costing me a fortune. I noticed that the dog food on the porch was not being eaten or the sweet feed for the horses so I figured why not put the cat food on the porch too and just feed the cats there. I thought I was brillient for about 2 weeks until the lid started to be removed every night...only on the cat food by the way so I guess the dog food is not good enough for them. What happened you might ask...well the dogs have been brought in again due to an injured horse so now nothing is detering the raccoons from getting a quick bite. Now the raccoons are walking up to our french doors and looking in to see if any food is located in the house so I guess I will have to do something before they start attacking me or the cats.
