Let’s start Caturday with a cat climbing a pole behind the cat house:

A raccoon and possum have an encounter on the deck:

Three cats:

Actually, there were four cats; one more inside the shelter, as seen in this screenshot:

In another screenshot, we can see a raccoon in the feeder while two cats are in the shelter:

Not content with that, the raccoon came in the shelter with the cats, who gently suggested it might want to be elsewhere, with much hissing and growling:

Surprisingly, they didn’t evacuate after that; they just curled up for more snuggles:

A possum also visited (yes, the same night), and was also directed towards the exit:

As if the raccoon and possum weren’t enough for one night, Pumpkin, the orange cat, also paid a visit, and was more forcefully told he wasn’t welcome; they were more vocal with him than the wildlife:

Why won’t they be my friends?
