Much like other animals they mark their territory. In my case I have 10 families that live here so I give them a feeding area out back in the woods and they all do it their and not in my yard. Keeps me from cleaning it up everyday. Only once a week. Otherwise it wet and humid times of longer than a week it can cause an outbreak of flys which is much harder to deal with...

A raccoon may leave his scat by your door because he lives near your house. It may be part of his habit or his path checking out trashcans and rummaging for garbage.
How do you tell if a raccoon is rabid?
All Raccoons carry rabies in their feces (poo), but not all of them are actually infected with the disease and not all that have the disease are foaming at the mouth. So, if a Raccoon is acting strangely, back away slowly and call your local "Animal Hospital." All raccoons do not carry rabies, this is complete myth. You can suspect rabies if a raccoon seems unafraid of humans, is stumbling around, maybe walking in circles, or even falling over having seizures. They may be foaming at the mouth, or out in the daytime, but not all animals with rabies foam at the mouth, and not every raccoon you see in the daylight has rabies. Your best bet is to call your local wildlife control or even your local police station, and report your sighting, they will know who to call for the problem. Never try to approach a wild animal. Do not call an animal hospital, they have nothing to do with rabid wildlife

Which animal would win if a raccoon were to fight an opossum?
People mistakenly assume that a possum "plays" possum, when in actuality they literally faint and give off an awful smell which usually will cause whatever is after them to leave. They stay in this state for about 15 minutes before they get up and stagger off like they are drunk. So, I think it's a moot point about a fight between the two because possums are really rather docile so they probably wouldn't attack, especially something bigger than them, which a raccoon is. From what I know about raccoons, they prefer to to flee rather than fight too. FYI....possums are one of the few, if not the only mammal that does not carry rabies.
