It makes you wonder how gentically far apart humans and racoons are when after a skin full it passes out in the bathroom..

'Staff at a Virginia liquor store got a shock on Saturday when they came into work to find the store had been broken into by a very intoxicated raccoon.'

That's poor writing; the store was broken into by a sober raccoon!

There are a LOT of Racoons in the neighborhood I live in. Despite looking quite adorable, they are something of a nuisance. Their ability to defeat anything but armor-plated trash bins is well known, but they also seem pretty determined to invade our houses too - almost exclusively into attic spaces, via less than battened-down soffits and facias. Once inside, fking mayhem generally ensues.

We recently had an issue with a feral cat and it's kitten - and asked a local feline rescue group to assist with the capture/spay and adoption of the kitten (which wasn't thriving). The youngster was easy to snag, but the adult was skittish and elusive, so they left a trap overnight, in our back garden.

The result.......

The Great Outdoors starring John Candy. One of my favourite films as a kid, especially this scene…
