I once adopted a baby raccoon. When it started
davening and looking for a
minyan, though, I had to have it put down.
It had rabbis.

Every night I feed kitten chow to three raccoons, because it has a higher protein content than either cat or dog food. When I set out the food, I call “kitty, kitty” because it sounds more melodious than “here, raccoon” and they don’t know they aren’t kitties.

‘I remember when I was a kid the Disney movie Rascal (about a raccoon) came out and I (along with thousands of other kids) begged my parents for a pet raccoon. My dad then advised me that raccoons were widely known are carriers of rabies. He then told me what happens when you catch rabies. I’ve never gotten close to raccoon since.’
That was made into a movie? I loved the book by Sterling North, one of my first juvenile books.

The radio report said it was a fox. Either way,what idiots. I really think some of these dolts just watched too many cartoons as kids. They still think all animals are our friends.
