This just had to be Fat Albert,
but BOY-OH-BOY is he ever getting FATTER AND FATTER ANNNNNNNNNND FATTER!!!
Me thinks he's eating tooooooooooo much of the catfood we put out for Slinky!   
He started to go down the stairs when I opened the door to get this picture, but then he started coming right at me, so I took it quickly and closed the door!

He just wanted handouts from you, Lynne. Does he go after the outdoor cats or do they just hang around at the same time?

Looks like my pet raccoon , Suzie Q, I had as a boy. She would sleep in the bed with me and sit next to me on the couch and watch TV while eating hamburgers and French Fries dipped in a bowl of water.

They aren't afraid of much that's for sure. I'm glad you were careful. It's a great picture, thankyou for sharing it.

I'm telling you all... he is like a small bear!!!
I've never ever seen such a huge racoon! Seems harmless enough, but you never know...

Wow what a fatty! You must be putting out some yummy cat food. Raccoons are actually (not very, but) are related to bears.

I had 6 plantings of corn this year. Out of the 1st 3 plantings, I managed to get a total of 6 ears thanks to the raccoons. I bought a Hav-a-hart trap and relocated 11 raccoons! No wonder I wasn't getting any corn!

Terry, raccoons here never touch our gardens. They seem to have a craving for cat food though.

He probably just wanted a date. They can be quite affectionate you know. My mother had a farm where she would feed the raccoons. They would come up and sit beside you. You could pet them and everything. It was truly enjoyable.
