Gang of 9 came by in the daylight hours to eat my stray cat’s food that I just put out. 😩 I guess I’ll be keeping my stray company while she eats for a bit.

Eta: thanks to everyone suggesting I put more food out. As a general rule, I don’t feed wild animals and these are wild raccoons so they have foraging and scavenging skills. They also have a compost pit in the backyard they can pick out of. We’ve had neighborhood raccoons for as long as I’ve lived here so they know how to find enough food. They just happened upon my stray cat’s food right after I put it out and before my stray cat was able to get to it. And before anyone asks, the leftover cat food gets picked up at dusk and only the water bowl is left out overnight. Thanks!

The remind me of a pile of puppies! Mama is doing a great job!

Mom usually shows up later in the evening with all the kids.

Eta: mom came by later with the entire brood so she must have her den somewhere nearby and he wandered out for a walkabout. There is a den site under my deck that many wildlife species use. It has a low portion with a bunch of leaves under it and it’s been used by feral cats, armadilllos, opossums, skunks and now I am assuming raccoons.

Mama and her brood of 8 came by early last night before I had a chance to pick up the wet cat food. They licked the plate clean for me though.
