I'm surprised. I thought more of y'all would remark upon 1) how cruel I am to the Angry Predator and 2) how foolish I am to provide kibble to the local wildlife.
This year's family of raccoons has a mommy with an injured paw. One of the babies is terribly thin. Better to feed them than to clear out the corpses, that's my philosophy.
"Oh, the indignity. Let me out and I am getting the hell away from these people."
By all means, feed them! Poor injured mama. Just don't feed the masses, and lock the cat door. Raccoons are cute on the other side of the glass - in the kitchen, having squeezed through the cat door like Pooh to stand next to the cat at the kibble bowl, not so much.

Or, "Sticks and stones will break my bones, but cat-death-rays-through-the-glass can never hurt me."
I am a tenured faculty member at a large state university. My teaching efforts primarily consist of delivering statistics lectures to social science majors. These experiences have colored my perspective somewhat.

Who was that masked man?
Raccoon: "Please, sir. I want some more."
Cat: "Do I look like I care?"
which one is inside the house?
Door is open -- c'mon in!
"please sir, may I have some more?"
Again, "Please, sir, can I have some more?"
Raccoon: O hai!
Kitteh: O bai!
OH, how charming! (My cat disappeared this semester and I am traumatized, now in love with dogs, raccoons, babies.)
Got any spare change, kitty?
@profacero - Sorry about your kitty.

Aww,
