Well, now my cats are indoor cats, so there is no worry. But Ive witnessed my cat being attacked by 2 [large] babies and their momma at a state park. My dad had to chase them off with a folding chair. They sometimes creep out of the storm drains by my parents house. I was in my car out front at night and saw them descending upon my parents property!

I was at the Desert Zoo out in Palm Desert last summer and saw a Serval (first time hearing of the species), it was awesome! Little mini cheetah cat!

they are cool, but kinda hard to care for. From what I've heard, they require alot of attention and supervision.

I'd rather have something easy, like a hermit crab

You know DANISH racoons are bigger and badder @$$ than any other coons 'cause they're from Denmark. Just like their amps.

Just ask'em.

Maybe the raccoons are invading because the Swedes let the government take their guns away.

Read the article. It's interesting. They don't need to swim over, thay can just walk over the bridge. Loved the comment about 'They will give them citizenship'. Heck, it's Sweden, they will put them on welfare too!.

Not that I like to bust on the Danes and Swedes at all mind you, but you ought to hear my Finnish wife go at it. Priceless.
