Dang. There worst interaction I had is a brief encounter over a summer where they decided to make the most visible place in the yard from our lovely picture window their dumping grounds. Not a pretty site, but they moved on soon enough thank God and now we have long since moved.

Now it is skunk. We don't see them in our yard, but the area reeks of it more frequently than any other place I have lived. Not bad though. The skunks and the raccoons get a bad rap, but then again I keep my cats inside. If I did not they would make me very angry and anxious.

Doesn’t explain anything . . . was she feeding them and did she run out of food? I’ve heard stories of wild animals attacking someone who tried to feed them and then had no more food. Animals want to eat till they are satiated and get grumpy if the food runs out.

Recall some child that got goosed by a goose for running out of treats.

Be very, very careful around/near raccoons. Lots of them are showing up with rabies.

I heard that piping country music out in the vicinity will repel coons pretty good.

Raccoons are about the nastiest creatures on earth. They will eat anything at any level of rot. They are not afraid of humans. They are more likely to carry rabies than any other animal in the eastern USA. They make a mess of even well sealed trash they climb on and scratch your cars. They will eat all the corn and grapes from your garden. If a litter is born nearby you will have a lot of them. The more there are the more competitive and brazen they become. I hate them. They are worse than coyotes. Kill them when you can.

Watch out if you go out.

And remember, they climb.
