Raccoons are known to attack cats and dogs. If you are worried your cat will be injured by raccoons then you should keep it inside, especially if there are raccoons around your neighborhood and backyard.

Raccoons rarely kill domestic cats but do so occasionally. They look at the cat, especially smaller kittens, as food. That is why it is best to keep cats indoors unless supervised. They are called house cats for a reason. It is cruel and irresponsible to let them roam freely.

If a cat and a raccoon were to fight, the raccoon would put up quite a fight but the cat would most likely win.

Yes. A raccoon will also kill and eat a live cat, if it is hungry enough and catches one. Raccoons have been known to gang up on cats and kill them for food.

A raccoon is fully capable of killing a cat but rarely attack them. Young kittens, however, are a different story.

A house cat could not kill an adult raccoon. However, they might kill a youngster. Raccoons can, and will, kill a cat occasionally.
