Raccoon Raid

So, it's about 11:45 now, and just, oh, 45 minutes ago or so, I went to put my kitten in the garage- that's where my cats sleep -and I opened the door to my garage and just about had a heart attack. I'm holding my cat under my arm, like a football or something, and I open the door and here are these 2 raccoons right on the doorstep, eating ALL of the catfood. When they growled at me I shut the door as fast as I could...duh. Only after hearing a meow of protest did I realize I was holding my kitten so tight I was squishing her. So my dad went out and got the raccoons out of the garage (I can hear the raccoons outside of our house right now) and I went in to put my kitten in the garage. Holy cow!!! I had forgotten how much of a flipping mess these things make, because this isn't the first time this has happened, and of course the garage smells like wet dog or something. Oh, raccoons are just bundles of fun!
