I agree, indoor raccoons are not a good idea.
Eric is a very smart man, that is why he our leader.

Wild indoor raccoons, or a tame, pet raccoon? A raccoon that was raised
by humans and that was very tame - domesticated - wouldn't be much different
than having a cat or dog, imho.

This is weird.
30 years after the world's worst nuclear disaster area around the meltdown in northern Ukraine it has now become one of Europe's most interesting wildernesses.

Wierd?? Not at all. Cats are the most resiliant and adaptabke animals on the planet. They are adaptable, and have show the ability to thriev when most mammals fail.

The simple fact is that their lifespans are too short to be affected by radiation,. They die naturally before they get tumours,.

Now I get some flashbacks.
As a kid I spent some summers at a farm.
They had an old mare (märr in swedish) I think she was about 20 years old.
And her name was Mary.
What else:)

Super smart, excellent climbers and ridiculously dexterous, raccoons would be able to open most of your closets, drawers and cupboards to rifle the contents. You would have to baby-lock EVERYTHING all of the time, and never slip up. I wouldn't want a bored raccoon trapped in my home, looking for entertainment. Also, they climb up on to things and poop down them, so shelves in your house would pretty much have to be eliminated. So would anything they could climb on. Raccoons do not use litter boxes or puppy pads.

No wonder I prefer cats as pets......

"Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once."

As a child one of our neighbours tried to keep one for a pet from
the time the animal was a pup, or what ever they call a baby raccoon.
The thing just started leaving for short periods of time, then
as time moved on, one day it never came back. Now at the time we
lived way out in the country. The world was just starting to get
sick in those days, so there was still a great population of all
kinds of wild creatures in the bush. The bush came up to most
peoples back yards. I personally never heard of one being kept
in side all the time.

Cats are basically a wild animal we try to keep at home.
Domesticated, my ass.

Some are better at that than others./
Some will bolt at the best opportunity from the front door, never to be seen again.
I had an experience with my departed Squirrel kitty many years ago.
She somehow slipped out of the house and roamed the neighborhood for weeks before she finally returned, cold and tired, to my front door.
I will never forget the look in her eyes.

I lost years of my life trying to find her.
When she finally returned, I spent hours cuddling her, and she then refused to leave my side.
Hard to go to work. But for the rest of her life, she never ever got close to the front door again.

Good Sir you are completely wrong on that point. Our little
Moghie, the 'Fryja Cat' is not only civilized but she also reads
a new novel every month and helps me with the taxes most years!



edit:
Get it straight then.....

I think Mark knows that we are the ones who have been domesticated.......

LOL...my two remaining kitties DO seem so be rather content simply holding down the covers on the waterbed. And are most attentive when I get home from work very tired and retire with them.

I do not see them accumulating much reading material however.
