Yes, they love water, and will often 'wash' their food, (tho I think they are actually playing with the food). One raccoon comes in the late evening to a bowl of water we have on the patio for our cat, and will put it's feet in the water......all 4 feet, and then doze off, like he is taking a nap in the bowl!
