I’ve had an outdoor cat named Munchkin for over a year and have just recently, like in the last few months, been able to pick her up and pet her. Be patient with Mocha – the trust will come!

Love the cat. Mocha is a perfect name for the coloring. I just want to snuggle up. However having had outdoor cats, some more feral than others, they tend to want what they need and only need what they want. But we have a gorgeous orange tabby, Spencer, that loves outdoors and comes in regularly for some loving. And he is a large heavy cat, but hubby totes him around like a newborn. He just have to have that loving every day. The cat and the hubby.

Enjoy Mocha.

Most racoons and cats have a certain understanding and really do not bother each other. They can be quite amusing and your two have beautiful coats on. Mocha is delightful. I lost my little feral cat last week. I had only begun to be allowed to pet her this past year and she had chosen to stay with me for thirteen years. Does Mocha belong to someone or was he just turned out? By the way how are your girls adjusting to Colorado? Seems like Loppy is fitting in just fine.

well I hate to sound negative about the wildlife but Racoons are on my NASTY PEST list. We’ve had trouble with them since we moved into our home almost 4 years ago. they poop on our pool deck and get in the pool by using the steps – sometimes they even poop in our pool which just horrifies me. My husband hates cleaning up after them plus they are mean buggers. They are very bold – in the beginning we only saw them after dark but then one of them started saundering thru our back yard any time day or night and so my husband started shooting at him ( not to hit him but just scare him) with the bb gun. they scare me – in our area you are always hearing rabies warnings on the TV that involve racoons. Plus I know they will set up housekeeping in your attic and have their litters – they can descimate your attic in nothing flat. OK I’ll get off my soapbox and get back to knitting a more pleasant subject indeed. Have a great weekend – melody

Next the skunks will be showing up for a free meal, LOL. I’m speaking from experience in Oregon. Mocha is beautiful. You are wonderful caring for critters.

Sheri….Marge??!!……Perhaps I should be naming my groundhog Sheri!!! Actually I do think he is a Herman. I like that Raccoons are usually traveling in pairs or such. I’ve never seen babies but may this Spring. Possibly will see groundhog babies because Herman is living in the back of the garden and he may get a family! Thanks for sharing, I real needed a smile today. Have a great Thursday!!

Last year my elderly aunt had put water in a birdbath for the birds and looked out to see the top had been tipped over in the night. She figured it was raccoons, but it being winter and she being in her late 80′s and the top to the birdbath being heavy, she left it until she could safely go out and do something about it. When she did several days later, underneath she found one very flat, very dead raccoon. She shed no tears and if it had been some of the squirrels she really battles, she might have danced. She is in all other ways a very sweet, kind woman. lol

We used to feed the Raccoons at our house and the babies would play in our Whiskey Barrel waterfall. Then we put in a fish pond. The darn things figured out how to divert the water and drained the pond almost dry. Several of our fish were never seen again

I am sure others have said this, but don’t be fooled by the racoons’ cuteness. They can be quite vicious. To the point they will attack other small animals.
