Dad calls this raccoon Scout. Scout comes early in the morning, before light, to see if any food’s around. Typically, there isn’t and Scout goes quietly his merry way elsewhere. Later, after light, when a food bowl is set out for visiting neighbor cats – Lloyd, KeeKee (Mr. MewMew), or the Berries, Scout often returns, alone. He’s a polite raccoon in that he never polishes off the entire bowl of food, always leaving at least half for the next visitor. That said, he is of a good weight going into this time of year. He ought to do well when our cold weather hits.

A precious vistor!
OH, we love that raccoon, and a Scout he is from the look of him! Mama saw an instagram guy with a little raccoon snuggled up to him and petting his face (with those claws…) and he seemed so darling and tame. But…..
Maybe was raised from a baby. Those claws are a bit off-putting. Glad yours has manners.
A cutie pie!
He seems to be a very polite visitor.
I’m glad he is polite and respectful. Let’s hope he doesn’t bring friends, there’s a story from Washington State about a lady who used to feed a few, and a hundred showed up and wouldn’t leave!
I hope he is nice to the cats that visit. 🙂
What a sweetheart! I love raccoons.
What a handsome and thoughtful visitor Scout is!
