They eat together and even sleep under the fan on the back porch together. But they do give each other their space... although sometimes it's only 6 inches apart.<br />We give them whatever scraps we have left over. They especially love pizza and watermelon...?? And the cat dishes are out in the middle of the yard, but the old coon knows to come to the back door and look in .... as the cats do.Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472421271620543536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-28081082778585492682016-06-23T06:44:24.222-07:002016-06-23T06:44:24.222-07:00The raccoons have never tried to harm the kittens ...The raccoons have never tried to harm the kittens or fight with the cats. I know they could, but they never have. The kittens don't seem to be afraid of them, but do hiss if they get too close.<br />And Eileen, my dear friend is an accountant also and she believes in hanging on to paperwork as well.Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472421271620543536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-22089211896181024592016-06-23T00:27:54.450-07:002016-06-23T00:27:54.450-07:00we found that the possum will not fight our cat, b...we found that the possum will not fight our cat, but a raccoon can and they are strong enough to kill a cat, Barney and a raccoon have been a fight before, now that we have the screen room the cat food we leave out occasionally is left alone, do you give the raccoon some fruits or vegetable scraps? might be good to feed it away from the house out in the yard somewhere. I must go back and read about Rose to see why she got stitches.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-68366529038020415822016-06-22T19:32:37.299-07:002016-06-22T19:32:37.299-07:00Definitely good news about Rose.

I know they do a lot of damage at my brother's farm.<br /><br />Ahhh...cleaning the clutter, I know that feeling well. I tend to hang onto paper as well. I am an accountant after all. :) Good luck with the closet!Sakuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11508656442667275102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-68050400080317947402016-06-22T16:11:11.664-07:002016-06-22T16:11:11.664-07:00Kim, Rose is doing great.

I know at her age, she could go at any time... but I think she must have realized that she had a 9th life coming to her and she's going for it! <br />As for mama raccoon, she seems to be a sweet old girl (although we don't try to touch her). We keep expecting to see her bring up the baby coons to eat one day soon.
