at night unless they have rabies then they come out any time and will attack on sight

That is not true, raccoons are mainly active at dusk and dawn, and they can at times be seen during daylight hours, during late morning, early evening. Cats are nocturnal, does that mean they are never awake during daylight hours? This is one of the biggest misconceptions of raccoons. You may see a raccoon in the day, just keep your distance, and be a afraid if it isn't afraid of you.
