I'd be more inclined to click on this link if I could be positive it was pix of Ray(HaR) and Farns.... ... -- Proud member of the "Reality-based Community"...
I'm not complaining. It's just that, sometimes, the spambots seem to have an easier time with those rassafrassin captchas than *I* do! Now, if it had said...
Hello all! I'm not sure how to post here but if I understand this correctly, you all tell stories about your raccoons. Well, I am a raccoon friend myself....
Welcome to the group! We all love the little rascals! I usually feed 7 to 9 raccoons in the evenings, and also feed a group of stray cats that now live in...
I love your story. It is so funny to see the coonies and the cats together. I have a pet door that allows the cats to come and go in my garage. Many time...
Dear Sheliahood: I had never seen cats and coons eating together before and was really amazed to see them eating side by side out of the same (double-bowled)...
Thanks Damon, for the valuable information! I'm new to the group and I live on the fringes of Rochester, NY. We have 6 babies this year! Apparently they're...
That's so sweet!!! I have a total of 2 foster kids, 6 cats, and approx. 12 raccoons (6 babies this year). It's amazing to watch the animals get along with...
Sometimes I watch these animals together and I realize that they can work out their differences better than humans can. They figure out everything without ...
Maybe that is the key - don't talk. Sometimes I think words form more walls between people than they tear down. However I guess all babies don't get along so...
How do we know that they are'nt "saying" a word to each other? I've always believed in the intuitiveness of critters. If a critter does'nt like someone, I...
You're right, they sure communicate with each other somehow! I am amazed that my cats can be in the same general area and everyone is relaxed. My cats are very...
You may be right - maybe they do communicate telepathically. At least their body language does tell a lot about what is going on with the animal. I wanted...
Jeanne -- Been monitoring the site lately [I was a new 'coonie' a few years ago, but now am watching the 4th generation of 'Bertie's' progeny come calling for...
Dear Natasha: Thanks for sharing about the St. Francis' Syndrome - I was beginning to think I was the only one who felt a sort of telepathic communication with...
I started feeding a darling Raccoon that came to my living room window and stared in at me. I called her limpy because she has a limp. I fed her some cat food...
racoons are one of the smartest mammals out there especially for finding food. STOP FEEDING THEM. they will leave. but be patient you showed them where a free...
THE ONLY "PESTS" I KNOW ARE IDIOTS WHO BELIEVE THAT EVERYBODY...AND I MEAN EVERYBODY {AS IN RACCOONS AND OTHER CRTTERS ARE JUST NON-HUMAN PEOPLE} CAN EXIST...
hi all, are there anyone here who lives in Chicago (city) and could point me any possible places (parks, neighborhoods) to spot raccoons. i live in downtown, ...
Hello Pete! Chicago downtown is a tough place for a person to see wildlife. I once got told off in the little shop in the downtown Marriot for asking if there...
I also feel that feeding our wildlife is very important now because of the disappearing habitat here. We used to have fields and forests in this areas, now...
Dear Chicago Raccoon Hopeful: Raccoons and other wildlife usually try to find an area that is quiet and has good food sources (garbage cans are good). In...
I don't know about conditions in Chicago, but when I lived in Memphis, TN, I used to see raccoons on an almost nightly basis, clambering around the dumpsters...
Andrew -- thank you so much for sending this link! I had forgotten about Roger. No wonder he hasn't participated in the group --he's been WAY too busy...
Hi everyone. I just discovered this group and hope you can help me with some questions I have. We have always had raccoons at our bird feeders at night and I...
