Racoon

Dear Diary, I could have told them. But no, they don't want to listen to me, a mere cat. When I chased that racoon off the other day I got in trouble. None of the other cats do anything about it...they just sit there and stare at it or hiss a bit and walk away. So when I saw it eating their food, I chased it. Melissa was outside and you'd think I'd run into the highway or something. She chased me down, grabbed me, scolded me, and put me in the house. They were picking up dead chickens before I chased it and they are still picking up dead chickens. But now they KNOW the racoon is the one killing the dumb birds. Now my human's man has a gun and we all have to be careful not to get in the line of fire because he's shot a lot of times and the coon is still running around killing. Two more dead ones in the coop this morning. They smell. Not hard to know something's dead. The humans thought the coop was safe. They beefed it up, checked the wire, looked for loose boards. Coon is smarter I guess. It's war now. No negotiations. Coon will surely die in the end. It should have stuck to eating cat food. Suppose that's what happened to Indi mom's kits. Coon food.
