i came home to an angry raccoon on my porch tonight

[Ava]

:scared:

i came home tonight and as i walked up the porch steps approaching the front door i noticed one of my cats, pumpkin standing on the porch. as i took my foot off the last step and stood on the porch i looked down to see pumpkin(getting ready to pet her) when i notice instead there is a raccoon standing there staring at me with it's hair sticking up and with a stiff back. about 4 seconds passed of me just staring at it, frozen, and scared senseless(the fact that it's eyes seemed to glow didn't help) when the evil creature let out what i can only describe as either a: a sound similar to a cat's hiss or b: the sound of a demon. the furry little creature then turned around and took off quickly and i ran into the house slamming the door and locking it behind me(you know, incase it tried to come back and open the door :rofl:).

and to think i use to think that raccoons were cute!

1. they CAN be cute

but they're mean little fuckers.

Now 'possums I like. They don't hurt anything... just wander around at night and eat bugs. Raccoons, on the other hand, will bite your nads off and steal your shoes.

3. and give you rabies!

2. They are cute

from a distance of several hundred feet, as God intended. Up close, they morph into hideous killer monsters. That can unlock doors. :)

[Ava]

4. yes, they do morph

into evil little demonic creatures :scared:

i better go make sure that door's deadbolt is locked too... and put a chair in front of it. :rofl:

5. What about the cat?

Did she come in with you? :scared:

[Ava]

i thought she was what turned out to be the raccoon. she usually is out in the woods hunting at night though.
