Cat attacks raccoon!

Posey, our docile and loving little Abyssinian kitty, loves to hangout in the fenced-in backyard at all hours. She was looking for moths or other little bugs to play with, when a raccoon climbed the fence and came into the yard.
The raccoon went into the cat coop (chicken coop) to eat her food. That is when Posey decided she didn't like this invader. To our shocking surprise, Posey attacked the raccoon multiple times before the raccoon retreated backwards up the fence!!
There isn't any sound in this video, as the cameras don't record any.

We have an 11 pound all white female cat who is very territorial in our yard. She is not much of a hunter, and usually leaves smaller animals alone. She is much more likely to attack the neighbor's dogs, raccoons, fox, etc. I have had to stop her at least three times from attacking leashed dogs being walked by the house. On one morning a few years back, both cats were hanging out in the backyard when a large male raccoon came along. Both cats were just laying down in a couple different spots watching him dig around in the grass. Both cats had the higher ground advantage. Cali, the cat in my profile pic was up on a wood pile, and Courtney, the bigger white cat was on the seat of a yard chair. Eventually, the raccoon approached Courtney out of curiosity perhaps. She remained laying down until he went under the chair. At that point she stood up and became more defensive. The raccoon made his way back to the front of the chair, put his front paws up on the seat and tried to sniff Courtney. It was then that she let out a growl that sounded as vicious as any bobcat and clawed the raccoon in the nose which is probably the most sensitive part of the raccoon's body. The coon immediately spun around and fled the yard with Courtney right on his tail. I watched the entire encounter from a window. I went out to help, but didn't have time. I wish i had it recorded. It would have been a great video, but was more interested in the safety of the animals. Eventually Courtney returned back to the yard, but the raccoon never did. That raccoon was two or three times bigger than the cat.

I resisted, but her pregnant teacher not suspecting that she would have another pregnancy decided she didn’t need the 6 month tabby ( her third cat) that she had rescued under the school bleachers. About two weeks after we got it my wife came home from work and found me in my recliner, asleep, with the purring cat in my lap. The purring sound was so relaxing that I would easily dose off. We kept that wonderful cat for 17 years. It was so affectionate with me, my family and would often be curled up in the arms of our young Labrador.
