I guess I need my sense of humor examined. It looked to me like a wild raccoon stealing the cats food. Luckily it didn't bite or attack the cats, they can be pretty nasty creatures.
I wouldn't let my cats near a raccoon. I know my poodle had an almost run in one night years ago, when I was young, w/ a raccoon. He was trying to get in garbage, open top of it just as poodle was let out to pee. We heard a noise and went out and saw the raccoon running away.

OK so the rascal tiptoeing away is funny but I posted this same video on Cats Forum last week abou the dangers of outside cats and especially unvaccinated cats. Out in the middle of the day is very alarming...more scary than funny to me as well.
The cats clearly think that raccoon is another cat - kinda peculiar looking and acting, but definitely feline, in their view. Since the three cats are obviously buddies who get along, they appear to have the same tolerant activity towards the raccoon. Maybe they think he's a Maine Coon Cat.
The raccoon I discovered in my back yard late one night a few weeks ago was standing up on his hind feet, holding a stale roll I'd left out for the birds in both hands. When he saw me, he dropped to three feet and rapidly departed, still hanging onto the roll with the one paw/hand/foot not being used for running away.

Critters encounter other critters all the time. They know it's a different species. They wouldn't try to matewith it if it was in season.
Did anyone suggest this??
