What do raccoons do in water?
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!

How do you catch a raccoon?
The best thing I have found to do is go to your local wild life department borrow a live trap for a raccoon which the deposit could be from 60-90 dollars. Place it where you have seen the raccoons the most and bait it with tuna fish, canned cat food, canned oysters. (thats what i use) But, make sure the cage is secured to the ground or a fence. Raccoons are very smart and will flip the cage over to get the food. Next find some small holed fence and place around the entire back side where the food is, so the raccoon can not reach in and just grab. I use boards tied to the trap. After you have caught the raccoon, you have two choices depending on your state laws. You will either need to kill it. Straight shot between the eyes or relocate it. (most states prohibit relocation) If you feel you can't kill it you can hire someone to come out to do it for you. No matter what you do when handling the trap with the raccoon in it you must wear protective wear. The best course is to assume it may have rabies. So wear leather gloves, long sleeve shirts, and long pants. When handling the trap, use the handle and don't hold it by the sides or bottom. After we trap and kill our raccoons we then put them into a burning fire pit, because having them in a trash can will bring in other predators.
What to do when raccoons become so used to eating in your yard and they are very friendly this is a whole family mother father?
Food is attracting them. You need to remove the source of food - make sure trash cans are secured and do not put pet food outside. When the food source disappears, so will the raccoons.
How do you catch a wild barn cats kittens?
First take a HUMANE animal trap, at the back of the trap put some wet cat food on a paper plate. Place the trap in a place where you often see the kittens. You may catch animals other than the kittens, like raccoons or possums, if this happens then just release them back into the wild in some near by woods. Please re home or keep the kittens, at least put them in a non-kill shelter. Don't hurt them.
What do squirrels and raccoons do to prepare for winter?
Squirrels cache nuts and other food items to eat during the winter. Raccoons eat as much as they can during the warmer months to put on a thick later of fat that allows them to survive when food is scarce.
Do raccoons eat cat food?
Raccoons are drawn to cat food, so don't leave animal food or water bowls outside. Always have your animals come inside to eat their meals. If you have raccoons in your area, then your cats should be inside all the time because racoons do attack cats and small dogs. Some raccoons carry rabies virus, and some raccoons have parasites in their feces that is fatal to humans, especially kids.racoons will eat pretty much anything. trust me, cat food would be a great treat for them. i live by them, and they will eat my trash if I dont put it into my garage.True! At twilight, I put out fresh water and a cup of very high quality dog food we feed our working dogs (much better than regular cat food). They far prefer this to killing and eating our barn cats.racoons will eat pretty much anything. trust me, cat food would be a great treat for them. i live by them, and they will eat my trash if I dont put it into my garage.True!
