We live in a gated community - approximately 900 homes - with excellent security. One night my phone rang at midnight - it was a security person. He said "I'm in your driveway with my headlights on - your garage door is open - and a raccoon is picnicking in your driveway." The nocturnal forager had entered the garage and found the paper bag of cat food and was having a midnight snack while also spilling the contents on the ground. Coincidentally, some of our feathered friends - particularly Blue Jays, also fancy the dry cat food for its nutrients. But the black eyed raccoon is both bold and clever and his tiny fingered paws can get into anything. Soon we will be moving north to more urban surroundings where we expect to find a different type of after hours activity. But remember to close your garage doors.
