Yeah, probably.
When our daughter was little she had a big flamepoint himalayn male. He let her do anything. She would dress him in doll clothes and bonnets and stroller him around in her doll carriage. LOL She adored him and he her. At bedtime all she had tto say was “come on Pookie boy, lets go to bed” and he would follow her to bed, curling up on her pillow, purring and washing her forehead until she fell asleep. When she was soundly asleep he would come back downstairs. He was usually back in that bed before she woke up. He died at age 18 when she was a senior in college.
himalayn should be himalayan
That was just awful about the late raccoon. Mine didn’t show up for a few days, and I was so worried about her. Then she appeared with four little babies, all trying to suckle as she tried to feed herself from our “mowed meadow” and the food I put out for whoever is hungry.
Maybe everything wasn’t left for you but sometimes for the resident? A raccoon in the mailbox rather than a horse’s head in the bed? I hope that most people aren’t that mean to their letter carriers. Gee whiz, talk about shooting the messenger.
I do have a large, black spider (not a black widow — no red tummy, tummy not round) living in my mailbox, but it’s pretty cowardly.

One of the more interesting things i have seen in someones mailbox was a human hand, playfully stuck out of the mailslot when i tried to deliver. As to those who mock cat scratches and blood, imagine if the mail carrier was hiv positive, bled on the mail, and yours was the next delivery. Failure to report a paper cut can result in disciplinary action.
Oh sure....you laugh ~now~ but just wait ‘til a savage, snarling tabby attaches itself to your face like the thing from “Alien”.
;-D

Just look at the massive shoulders...those crushing jaws...the fearsomely sharp locking teeth.
I'm never leaving my house again.
They could be out there....anywhere...just waiting.
Very good point.
:-)
Yeah, I’m pretty sure most of the stuff was left for the home owners. Spiders like to live right under the pull to open the box. Then the spiders just jump in the car. I don’t jump too much, but sometimes it does catch you off guard.
I prefer people would leave me treats. Cookies, cold drinks, small kindnesses are greatly appreciated. I left my daughter in law some truffles on top of her mailbox one day, it was a test recipe and I wanted her opinion. One problem, mailman hadn’t been there yet, and I guess he thought they were for him. I took her another batch to test, and gratefully they were good. I would have hated if the mailman took they and they were bad.
I KNEW it!
It’s too late!
They’re already inside the house!

LOL!
What a sweet story....thank you for sharing.
Pookie seemed to be so happy when our daughter came home after being away. He was all over her the minute she came in the door from school, summer camp or college. He was a wonderful pet. He’s buried out back.
I owned Pookie’s mother.She was a great cat too. He was one of three kittens in the litter. He was huge 2x as big as the two girls in the same litter. We sold the girls, but just couldn’t part with him. He was born the day before our daughter’s 4th birthday. They were inseparable.
How in the world do you discipline a little kitteh?
Izlamist kitteh blowz u up!
