Welcome to IWETHEY!

New To their credit (they're still wanton-killing creeps)
they've evolved (mentally) sufficiently to apply their acrobatic talents within our artificial environment, figuring out lots of latches, high-wire entries into attics etc.
Were they not such murdering bastards, they's be admirable, no? (kInda like a %certain of bipeds, one might say.)

At least (too) while we can't grok why they're murderous--they don't claim they're doin it for Jeebus or Alllah; does that merit any points?
New Think cats can take them as Next Dominant Species?

New Nope.
The cats on our deck defer to Mother Raccoon as she raids their food bowls.

Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.
New Not a chance.
Raccoons are bigger, meaner, have much better manipulative skills and at least rudimentary organizational skills.

The only advantage cats have (if separated from the humans they depend upon) is that they can run faster.
New Plus they're already bipedal.

Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.
New Perfect timing, that!
Just last night, as my motion detector beeped I saw just a flash of one scooting by in that Mode; for a few sec I thought it something New! on the scene. Took a bit to see that This raccoon was goin tip-toes. I note that the eyes seem more slanted--a hybrid in the mix?

Most of the ones here do the quadra-hump-bump (they have big butts, which is why they can't jump very well: some set-up feeding stations for ferals which require a modest leap for a cat/Rocky Raccoon can't follow.) My gravel-throwing countermeasures seem to have reduced their forays--especially when I score one hard on that big butt: have had a week or more of their absence.
I also don't see them ever in daylight, usually deep dusk or later.
New Around here, they're usually a little before dawn.
