Absolutely. They will rip them apart. My cats so far have stayed away from my local raccoon but I worked for the Game Department here and was told by the Wildlife Biologist that raccoons kill cats

No, they are procyonids. Procyonidae is a New World family of the order Carnivora. It includes the raccoons, coatis, kinkajous, olingos, olinguitos, ringtails and cacomistles.

If threatened/angry, a raccoon will certainly take on a cat! They know they are much bigger and stronger and the cat will most likely know that too.

Instances of raccoons attacking cats are quite rare. Raccoons do not like fights and will avoid them if they can. They will, however, take kittens as food as they offer little resistance.

Cases of raccoons killing cats are very rare. Raccoons generally seek much smaller prey.
