Title: Our mystery guest

Last fall, my dad, Erik, and I turned our outdoor porch into a home for Mr. Tigger (read about it here). Well lately I've noticed we've got a visitor - Tig's food is gone the next morning after I fill it to be set for at least two days, and stuff is knocked over. Well we've had a problem with skunks, so that's what I'm suspecting. Then I notice the Russian Blue is back, so that explains the food...but he/she is not a trouble maker, so it doesn't explain the stuff torn up and the garbage tipped over.

Well tonight I'm pulling in, during a freaking horrible storm of course, winds are reaching 50 mph, and I see the culprit - the largest raccoon I've ever seen! He was running out of the porch - and then Tigger was chasing after him. I freaked out, stopped my truck, and flew out after him, screaming at him - luckily he listened and came back. Before I took Tigger into the basement this past winter and also got him neutered, he was fighting with every cat/animal out there - and he learned his lesson - so now he's pretty laid back, but I still worry. He's being so nice to Mr/Miss Russian Blue, letting him/her hang out in his porch...so we're good.

So anyway, yeah...that's our problem now...lol.

No kidding - Tigger ran after him and I bolted out of my car screaming at him. I know they don't hesitate to fight and Tigger would not win.
