Raccoons!

We had two racoons visit over the weekend. We live near a river basin so over the years that we have lived here we have seen the traces of raccoons in the area and even encountered one when leaving my house once. This time they came right up to the back  doors and looked expectantly in. My cats didn't know what they were but one of our cats wanted to make friends. We didn't let them.

They were very traumatized by the experience they slept for most of the next day together. A rare occurrence. Sleeping near each other that is.
