We have a stray cat that hangs around the apartments here. The neighbor lady named him Max and feeds him, even tho she’s not supposed to. There are raccoons that hang around the area.
He has an ear that’s been either partially bitten off, or he’s been neutered.
It’s been really cold here in Northern Illinois, but he’s pretty fat. Our cats hang around the windows looking for him. I feel sorry for him, but he seems to be doing ok.
We have raccoons too. I don’t like leaving food out all night. Louise comes just after dark and Usually she eats enough, I bring the rest of it in so raccoons are not attracted. A neighbor feeds cats too. Nice guy, wrote a cure little book about cats. We compare notes feeding times, etc.
Raccoons have rabies and are very dangerous to cats. I put nuts out for squirrels too, and they sleep all night, munch nuts in the morning, no competition with the cats.
