I lived in an old house in a salt marsh for a year in my 20's and had a problem with raccoons getting on my porch and eating my 140lb dog's food in front of him. ...Which was very embarrassing for both of us. That ended the night the semi-wild, part domestic/part bobcat that I tried to adopt stumbled across the scene and dove into the three raccoons from the top railing of the porch. The work that cat put in and the look on his face while he did it made me seriously rethink all my attempts at petting him...

[@worstcaseofcrabsever5510]

A racoon will usually whoop a cat. But not always. One thing to consider is that all these animals learn to fight by experience. Some have a great advantage just because they have done so much more fighting than their opponent. I will never forget my kid's favorite cat "tiffany" She was an average sized white female cat. But Tiffany was the baddest fighting machine cat Ive ever seen. I saw her destroy huge male cats, racoons, large dogs. One time she fought 3 dogs at once and they all ran away yelping. She could scratch you 5 times in one second and her bites took chunks of skin away. She even attacked people sometimes if you were mean to her Kittens. I never saw her lose a fight or even back down from one.

I once had a huge outside tom named Bob, because of his bobtail. He was quite friendly with humans but didn't brook any other company in his territory. I saw him fight and win against dogs, raccoons, and possums, often his size or bigger. That cat was an absolute unit and had the battle scars to prove it.

[@smiffythecat3751]

My aunt had a tom that was truly big. Sam. He was tough in the extreme. Lived a long time through their multiple moves. I was told not to pet him because he didn't like it. As a young boy, of course I tried. He would let me pet him for several seconds and then he would change. Mostly I learned not to try. Gave him space and watched him. He was known to put much bigger dogs(of all kinds) to flight. All black with an attitude. He would lose weight in the spring because he would eat too many lizards. Beautiful animal that I always respected. He was mostly Uncle Paul's cat & had his own space on the living room couch (Uncle sat in a chair), which we all yielded to him when he came in. But then, Uncle was a different type of man. He lied about his age to go to war at 15. Grandpa went at 17. Apparently real men cause real things to happen, even in what they considered lesser animals. Uncle & Grandpa didn't always agree, but even when they were older, you didn't want to stop them or interfere. They were fast. They lived hard and expected a lot from those around. Sam may have been a tom, but he seemed to command respect. Life lessons expressed concisely as I know it.

Yes Felis Catus is pound for pound one of the most Ferocious animals on the planet. Their natural abilities are without question, and are a joy to behold in their play, and witnessed taking down of wild jackrabbits to feed their young when they needed further nutritional supplementation for their young. Once leaving an exactly sagittal sectioned half the rabbit remaining as if cut by a band saw to be seen at our front doorstep to finish later. She; Pugg, was one of our most incredible cats that ever shared her life with us. She was a short very well propositioned bob tailed longer rear legged dark grey green black tiger stripped cat who had several litters when she was alive with us. I think fondly think of her often, for no animal regardless of size entered our area without her permission, she was such a joy to our family and so lovingly remembered… . Thank you for this showing this footage. I saw how sure this cat was when allowing the Raccon to catch up to it, and was most telling, I caught that little bit, like it wasn’t really afraid but moving for a more open area to free up do business.

I had a feral silver tabby that we called Barbie. She was found hanging from a barb wire fence emaciated and close to death with her tail practically cut off hence the name Barbie. She was completely wild when we adopted her. I was only 8 at the time but I knew she was special very quickly. She would climb trees with me and was always just one branch ahead of me staring down on me and making sure I was OK. She would hoard all of my favorite Legos and hide them in the pillow where she slept by my bed. As I got older and snuck out to keg parties on the rail road tracks over 3 miles away I would catch glimpses of her stalking me in the distance, always keeping an eye on me and making sure I was OK. Without fail, everything time I came home after a party she was waiting at my outside window, staring at me with those knowing eyes to be let in to sleep next to me on her uncomfortable, Lego ridden pillow..😆

Domestic cats have such weak canines that they can’t even kill eachother let alone a huge ass bobcat with proportionally larger skull fangs and longer jaws. Also keep in mind the bobcat isn’t larger in terms of size alone but also in terms of proportions. In other words a small domestic cat sized bobcat is still stronger and more dangerous than a domestic cat. Bobs have larger paws compared to their body as well and they typically hunt prey larger than themselves. Domesticated cats can only hunt small critters.

[@philsmith2444]

The raccoon has the advantage in biting, but raccoon claws are designed for climbing while cat claws are meant to hold and slice flesh. Their curvature allows them to dig in deeper as they’re slicing. Plus cats have very loose skin and are so flexible that they can twist while in the grip of another animal and inflict some nasty cuts. Many animals that kill cats end up getting in a fight they’ll remember for the rest of their lives. Most of the time it’s better for them just to find a different meal. Protecting young is about the only time they’ll push the matter.

You must be very naive, since Cats don't take shit from Racoons, especially fully grown feral or Alley Cats. The Cats always make the Racoons run off. Quite simply, Cats have way more weapons, their frontclaws, their back claws and their fangs, while Racoons just have a dog like Bite and that is it. Plus Cats are way more agile and truly vicious when cornered.

Thank-you for sharing this! It's good advice. My cat was a feral. Hae still goes outside. And this is exactly right, feral cats do protect their surroundings.

[@privateprivate8366]

I walk one of my cats on a leash and harness. I’ve had 4 incidents. As I sat outside on my patio set and my cat jumped down from my neighbor’s patio set, I felt something nudge my right leg. I looked down and it was a raccoon, possibly using the cat hammock (cat never used it anyway), who wanted to meet my cat. I think it was young and not necessarily harmful. But, it didn’t stop me from jumping up and screaming, which caused it to run off. The next was my cat hunting for Katydids on trees. He went around the back of a tree and I heard all sorts of wild noises. I yanked him back by the leash, he yowled at me and, when I looked up, there was a raccoon peaking out, from behind the tree. I had such an absolute meltdown, because I wasn’t yet sure if my cat was injured, that the raccoon wanted out of there and ran down the street. Because I understand how rabies works, I rushed my cat to the emergency vet and got him a rabies booster, to the tune of $200. It he had no scratches or injuries, fortunately. One was a black vulture. I think it was somewhat young and hungry. I swooped down, with me standing next to my cat and I literally spread my wings, to divert the vulture and it did. But, it was hungry, returned and landed, walking towards us, picking up cigarette butts, waiting for me to hand over my cat. Since that wasn’t going to happen, I knew I might have to go to jail as, they’re federally protected. But, it flew off, when it heard my neighbor’s balcony door open. Just a few weeks ago, 2 black vultures crashed into one another, swooping down on me and my cat, from behind. They were not successful. It was a good lesson, however. There are many ways animals disappear. Other than humans, there are coyotes and other animals, some cats disappear into the street drains and some disappear into the sky. It is why my cat is not let out on his own.

[@MyBackyardBirding]

I worked at an exotic animal rescue facility that had lions and tigers and some feral cats hung around and we feed them too. Then one day the kittens of the fetal cats started being killed and some of the grown feral cats as well. We had no idea what was happening. Then, one morning we found a full grown dead raccoon in the lion enclosure. It had gotten too close to the opening where we feed the lions and one if the males had to have reached out and clawed him and pulled it in. After that, no more cats were killed. It had to be the raccoon killing them until he was killed by one of the lions himself. Lions don't play.

Starting around 2:10 you can see the open wounds the cat left on the raccoon that the raccoon is cleaning up. The cat appears to have made a complete recover now about a week after this incident as has the raccoon. Around 4:10 you can see the cat spray its scent right where the raccoon and bobcat spray so he's continuing to mark his territory. Because of the high density of wildlife and the cats nocturnal habit it is pretty much impossible to trap this cat for neutering and taking to a no kill shelter, but it may not be adoptable. I've tried trapping in the past and all you'll catch is possum after possum. If the cat were to come into the backyard in the daytime I'd be able to catch it, but its a true feral and I've only seen it once at dusk near the fence.

Possible, that's just animal life. Feral cats will kill and eat baby cats too and the result is that the mother will cycle more quickly into heat so he can breed his own batch with her. The coon was the only one making a noise. The cat emitted no sounds of fear or aggression. Coon lost the fight.
