...and this is how I had a 40lb coon at my house when I lived in Lexington. Exporting them from Georgetown apparently. Holy cow, a 40lb coon would be huge. Probably came from my friends house. He puts out about 10 pounds of dog food a night on his back deck so he can watch the wildlife. I've seen 5 coons on his deck before. They chased off the 2 big possums that were on it first. This fucker was bigger than my 35lb dog. It waddled. I didn't have a suppressor at the time and a gunshot would.have brought cops. They were there enough for house parties. I have no idea what it weighed but it was huge. |

The odd couple. The big kitty is cute, second one....not so much. I think the little one is cute. There are actually 3 baby possums that run around together. They are cute small, as they get bigger not so much. I have a similay baby Kitteh living under my shed |

...and this is how I had a 40lb coon at my house when I lived in Lexington. Exporting them from Georgetown apparently. I raised a baby raccoon once. When i got her, she was tiny! Her eyes were barely opened. I fed her cat formula from a bottle, and kept her wrapped up in a tea towel, and she slept beside me at night. She was super cute in her toddler stage, and as she got older, she was very sweet..... Until she reached sexual maturity. Then she turned into a mean bitch. She escaped her big enclosure and ran away. I reckon she was about a 40-pounder, and not done growing yet. |

My mothers family had a 'pet' racoon when she was a little girl. It showed up in the barn while still young and no one had the heart to put it down and the dogs didn't seem to mind it much. So it grew up used to the family and generally caused mischief. Lots of missing items, knocked over buckets, wierd noises in the middle of the night. Hearing mom tell stories about him was a highlight of my childhood.
Honestly, why hasn't anyone bred domesticated 'coons? it seems like they'd make pretty entertaining pets once you got some of their proclivity for biting bred out. |

rabies? fuck it what are the odds of getting it
compared to the love you will feel by inviting your new kitties in to live with you |

Quoted: Raccoons are like a toy breed of bears. They're cute and all, but I'll be damned if I'll let one have access to my genitals while I'm sleeping. That's a good way to become the laughingstock of the emergency room. Quoted: ...and this is how I had a 40lb coon at my house when I lived in Lexington. Exporting them from Georgetown apparently.

Isn't it a bit odd for a 'wild' animal to be so eager to get a treat from a human? I'd be a bit concerned that the 'kitteh' might be sick..maybe rabies? Plus, he's hangin' with Opie opossums kin...that can't be a good influence either! I'm not sure where the coon lives but I have a feeling he has been watching me. I saw him first a few nights ago. When he saw me in the window he booked it. Each night he has been less skittish. Tonight he wouldn't leave and I knew the possums were around so I opened the window to chase scare him away but he didn't run. I've seen raccoons with rabbies before. This one shows no signs at all. We are finally getting our fall cold snap and all the animals have started bulking up for winter. I figure he is just hungry. If I do have rabbies I'll have to figure out who gets my guns. Dibs. Dibs on kittehs. |

BTW, I live 3 blocks from downtown of a medium sized town. I have a 4 lane road in front of my house. Yet I have every type of wildlife running around. I've even seen rabbits and skunks. Every October every type of animal comes to the bird feeder I have out there to fatten up for winter. After that I rarely seem them again. So I'm not going to shoot any of them. I don't kill things just to kill them. I would need a reason like them tearing a hole in my house or ripping wires out of the heat pump. In 10 years that hasn't happened.

But I don't really consider possums or coons a threat. I don't bother the non poisonous snakes either. I had a "pet" coyote that would could up and eat bread out of my hand. He never bothered the cows or anything. Asshole neighbor shot him through the fence. |

They aren't extremely intelligent, but they are persistent and very manipulative. |

Wait until two of them eat a hole through your roof and take up residence in your attic. The sounds of frightful fornication, blood curdling screeching, knock down drag out fights every night is always good times.

When they get 1.5-2 years old, they get mean/wild. |
