Nocturnal Nibblers


It's not unusual for us to spot a raccoon robbing the cat dishes that we keep filled for all the felines who frequent our back yard. But imagine our surprise tonight when we saw three of them nibbling away on cat chow. We're guessing one was the mother since the other two were smaller. We grabbed the camera and managed to get this picture through our smudged glass door, afraid they would bolt if we got any closer. They sure are cute!

Too cute! It's funny how they all have a paw (or two) in the dish.

I had to enlarge the photo to get a better look and through the smudges I spotted a deer too!! You got your own wild life preserve! :)

Yep, Cheryl, you'd better watch Puddy's food bowl.

How cute! It wouldn't surprise me if they stay.
