Just that scene itself is hilarious, waking up to something like that. I never trusted a doggy door, I just always imagined the worst, like a Skunk in your house.
They actually have a kind now that works with your pets microchip. It stays locked until it comes close to the sensor.
Years ago, I woke up in the middle of the night to some strange noises. I went to my bedroom door, which was cracked open a bit, and turned on the light. The noise was coming from the hallway. I then reached my arm around the doorway to flip on the light in the hall.
Immediately, I let out a scream. About eight feet away were two huge adult raccoons eating from the cat food bowl in the bathroom. I shut my door and grabbed my cat, thankful he was not out there with them. They continued to eat the food for a while. Eventually I heard them leave.
To get out of the house, these raccoons would have to go past my bedroom, down the stairs, down a hallway, through the kitchen, then the mud room, and finally out the back door where we had a cat door. I was too scared to go downstairs the rest of the night. In the morning, I went down to the kitchen and the trash bin was turned over and all its contents spread across the floor.
I was shocked that they came all the way upstairs to the bathroom. That was a pretty long journey through the house.

That must’ve been terrifying! Did you then seal off the doggie door?
5 very young raccoons came through my cat door early one morning and got at the cat food in my kitchen. I probably wouldn't have known since my bedroom was on the opposite side of the house but they also went into the family room and up on my bookshelf and one of them stepped on my Bose stereo which turned on and started blasting Led Zeppelin, which woke me up. I didn't know what to do but eventually shoo'd them out the front door and held a big comforter up in front of me to keep them from running into other parts of the house!
This woman is right, it DOES get funnier the farther away it gets.

What were you thinking at that point, or did you already know it was the raccoons?

I flew out of my room and didn't really have time to think of WHY the music was playing but saw the raccoons almost immediately. I don't know what I would have done if it was a human intruder in my house, it's not easy to think clearly when you get woken up like that!
That chip thing seems very cool.
Thank you for posting that .
