Well it finally happened;
A raccoon sneaked in
through the cat door and ate all of Neferkitti's food!
The late night bandit
bolted through the cat door just as I switched on the light in the
laundry room.
Now we'll need to keep the
cat door closed at night and deal with Neferkitti's frustration of
not being able to go out and come in as she pleases. Is this fair to
the cat? Is it fair to us? Maybe the raccoon thinks it has as much
right to live here as we do. Maybe it doesn't want to be a “Second
class citizen” who envies the sweet deal that Neferkitti has; Free
medical and dental, central air and heat, a seemingly inexhaustible
supply of food, and two doting humans who apparently have nothing
better to do than to cater to her every need! Talk about a welfare
state! Maybe the raccoon wonders why there isn't a little more
compassion for another intelligent, cuddly mammal whose brothers and
sisters have lived in these Oregon woods a lot longer than some
upstarts from Portland who moved here to be closer to nature.

Total fat cat...this gluttony will not stand says the raccoon.
I really love this point, and it makes complete sense. We are all dealt a particular card in life, whether it's fair or not, and have to work with it as we will. It benefits the raccoon, but will be a slight inconvenience for your cat, who is showered with luxuries regularly. I see the relevancy with today's society in this situation, which brings forth a compassion for the "thieving" raccoon. Thanks for sharing grandpa! Love you!

Nothing is fair. The cat lives there. Let the pet of ours (so called) stay in for the night. Sorry raccoon - you will have to find your own food, at night as usual. The cat has to feel safe.
Raccoons sometimes have rabies. We love all animals but this is kitties own domicile.
