"Ummm ...Meow?"

This is the hilarious moment a raccoon tries to get through a cat flap but is pounced on and chased away by an angry cat.
Footage captured on a home security camera shows the daring raccoon try to get into the house after looking curiously through the cat door in the Pacific North West, US.
The raccoon can be seen walking tentatively up the stairs onto a garden porch before curiously looking at the cat flap.

hire Kitty to defend out border!
Do many people leave the pet doors free to allow anything to enter?
I had one that went into the garage not outdoors.
I also had a friend that was house sitting a place and they had a cat and a cat door to the outside. We went over one day after a few to check and the place was trashed and stray cats scattered when we unlocked the door not to mention the cat urine stink through out.
My dogs have suffered the same fate from our attack cat. It’s a game for her.
Our cat is an outdoor cat by day and indoor one at night. After seeing some of the critters he was trying to smuggle into the house we would never put in a cat door.
You can tell she’s pissed by how flat she lays her ears down.
If it was my cat she would have first layed real still while flopping her tail to entice the beast. Then she would have gone full spider monkey on it
When we lived in the mountains, we were bringing in groceries from the car parked in the garage. A raccoon must have been awaiting our return with supplies and stole a whole loaf of bread off the kitchen table. It was a “lightning” raid as the garage door into the kitchen table was just a few feet away. The raccoon lost a few slices of bread during the “raid” but we never saw hide nor hair of the sneak attack. We also had a cabin in Oregon, and I left a half a tray of lasagna out for the critters planning on picking up the tray when next we visited up there. Dang things must have taken an end each because the lasagne, plus tray, were gone. When in Oregon we had to keep our garbage indoors, because putting it on the front porch for dumping when we went into town didn’t work, as nightly they would upend the plastic garbage bags to root through it. My cat hadn’t come in at bedtime one night, so I was calling “here kitty to my blackish cat out in the woods, and it came running, got all the way to the front door before I realized it was a raccoon and I just barely managed to slam the door in its face. Those things are really cute and absolutely
fearless.
Those things are really cute and absolutely
Untill cornered and when rabid
Also cute when the dig up sea turtle egg nests and devoure eggs untill they puke them up and start gorging again untill all the eggs are gone.
Years back we had cats. We had a small pet door to get into the garage from the outside. We kept dry cat food in a metal can with a lid. Sometimes we would find the can tipped over lid off. My daughter came home one night and opened the garage door to come in. She was walking in when a huge raccoon was trying to get out. We moved the cat food.
I bought a have a heart trap. Baited it with cat food. We caught 6 baby raccoons(this was fall) over a 2 week period. One time we caught two at once. We never caught the Mama until we finally baited it with the left over turkey carcass from Thanksgiving. She could not resist that. Boy was she pissed when AI caught her in that trap.
The grumble so funny.
We have a neighbor and at night/dusk a whole family of raccoons come onto their back porch; kids in front, mom’s and dad’s next row and the grandparents last row - must be about sixteen of them. They feed them Kibbles.
