In a word, YES. Raccoons are much more formidable predators than most realize. But, they're lazy. I put out a cup of high quality dog food (30+ years training K9s and War Dogs) and fresh water at twilight and they prefer that to killing and eating our barn cats.
Raccoons rarely attack adult cats but may take kittens for a meal.
no, racoons are visious and kill cats. My cats dont mind the raccoon that eats their food
I'm sorry to say that they do. They can also kill dogs.
This would be very rare. Perhaps the mother is not experienced with the care of babies, she is stressed, she is sick or the babies have defects that will not allow them to survive in the wild.
Kill the food source (GRUBS) they are going after.
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.
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
Baby racoons have been noted to being fed by mother cats. Here the atraction ends. When a coon is full grown it can and will kill a cat in it's territory. Don't mix racoons with cats. Coons were never meant to be pets. They are a wild animal and should be treated as such.
In the "Warrior Cats" book series, raccoons are not featured as characters. The series primarily focuses on the lives of groups of feral cats living in the wild.
Yes, coyotes will prey on raccoons.
the raccoons favorite food from the wild is fish
Raccoons that have been imprinted on humans as a source of food will beg for food. Non imprinted wild raccoons will not.
cats are hunters yes, Think of cheaters and lions.. their cats and they kill.. but they kill for food not for fun
