Cat food, raccoon food – same difference, right? At least if you’re this guy.
[This is a picture from last fall at my parents’ house, where feeding the cat also means feeding other creatures who show up after the cat is finished eating.]
Weekend Wildlife: Raccoon Food
Travels with Choppy 
Raccoon looks skinny. Don’t think I’d want my cat eating out of the dish after the ‘coon….germies.

Usually, they don’t leave any food for the cats to eat! It’s actually worse with the water – they like to wash off their food, they little paws, and random other things they find in it.

We met our cat Socks when Silver the dog, being at the end of his life, left his food and Socks, a Tuxedo homeless with white feet, came for the leftovers. I would not feed a raccoon, though. Best to relocate it to a wild place before winter sets in.

Oh, he is in the wild – my parents live way out in the country. They get all sorts of animals around their house.

They have a lot of them at my parents’ house – nice and easy to get good shots when they come right up to the door!

Looks like our front deck. We have a racoon family living there. They surface middle of the night lighting our sensor lights, driving the dogs to a frenzy. Ah yes, the fun of wildlife, outside and inside our home. š

The ones at my parents’ house tend to come out pretty early – if they don’t get there early, other raccoons or possums show up and eat first.

He probably didn’t expect to have a camera shoved in his face during supper. “I’m trying to eat here!”

Cute little bandit! Not something I’d like to see visiting my deck, though (our local coons often have rabies). š¦

I think my parents would like to see less of them – they’ve gotten quite bold over the years (and eat enough cat food that it probably adds a significant amount to the cat food bill for the year)!

A man has to eat , and it must be tough out there in the wild !!! š Very cute….Good of your parents to feed them, I would too.

I’m not sure they are voluntarily feeding them – they just show up and eat, whether you want them to or not.
