I was at Mom’s a couple of weeks ago and she is having a raccoon problem.
She moved all the cat food and secured anything else a raccoon might get into.
Except these milks. We found this in the yard.
On the complete other side of the yard we found the straw.
I guess that’s why the raccoon had to chew it up.
By the way, the garage smelled like funky wild animal. Raccoons may be cute but they smell.
I had this brilliant idea that maybe we could scare it away with some bells or something on the door.
All I could find was some aluminum cans and I made a pyramid by the cat door.
Cans were knocked over when we got up!
But I set them up the next night and they were knocked over again plus one of the cans was carried outside. I guess the raccoon wasn’t scared.
Mom is reluctant to block the cat door because : what about the cat?
We are exploring some modern cat doors for a solution.
