Had to have the vet patch up one of ours after a run in with a very large raccoon. My best advice is never put any cat food like substance outside in raccoon country.

As for pet doors, the biggest problem we had with one on the garage was a possum coming in and sleeping in a cat bed.

Not my photo but you get the idea

Very funny! We have five cats. Our last home had a daylight basement with a door below our bedroom window. We installed a cat door in it so the crew could go in & out as they pleased. Well, a cute young female raccoon found the door & came inside. Finding food, she would come by frequently for a treat. Happily she left the cats alone.

One day I heard a ruckus & looked down at the door. There was the raccoon with the cat door stuck around her hips. She’d gotten quite plump on kitty food. She stood up & the door slid off. She hustled away, never to return...until the next spring. She brought back her three kits & sent THEM inside for a meal.

Smart raccoon!
