In May I reported on marmots allegedly killing cats in Washington. Now it seems the raccoons are in on the action and "a gang of raccoons that shows no fear has killed at least 10 cats and attacked several more."
But, they look so cute ...

If you are a paranoid hypochondriacal person with young children who lives in a suburb, you've come to the right/wrong place (take your pick). Because now you get to hear about Baylisascaris procyonis. What's that, you ask?
Sometimes there is no news. Sometimes we have to tell you about dog sweaters. Today we will tell you about the Raccoon Dog.

I know people think of them as pets, but I don't understand cats. At least something is finally taking a stand against these foot-and-a-half-long psychotic carnivores.
I think it's about time for the age of the era when all men can relate a story about a girlfriend who loves her cat so much that no man can compare so that her loneliness and ensuin bitchiness is her own damn fault. Go Racoons!

Bad humans! How can any reasonably intelligent person not like cats?
Aerik, I have never found my cats as pleasant company as my husband. Perhaps the fault is not with the felines...
Marmots are pure evil. I've lost many a Chaco, climbing rope and tent to their demonic little teeth.
Ahaaa, Life in the food chain
Raccoons drown dogs that are chasing them if you're fool enough to let your dog run alone, but I've never heard of them attacking cats. I'm not surprised to hear it's probably untrue.
Personally I love cats... dogs? I prefer OPD's, best breed there is ...
Other People's Dogs, like snotty little pre-teens, they go home at the end of the day.
Pity the racoons may be snacking on them, or the Marmots, but people take that chance when they let their cats out.
