Are raccoons feline

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

No. Raccoons are mammals, but they are a separate group from felines.

Answer 4

Not normally unless the cat and raccoon have problems, the raccoon has rabies or, your cat is dead.

Answer 5

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.

Answer 6

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.

Answer 7

No, raccoons belong to the family procyonidae and are not felines.

Answer 8

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

Answer 9

Although confrontations between adult cats and raccoons are rare, kittens will be eaten by a raccoon.
