   "Now she and her man who called himself Dan
   Were in the next room at the hoe down
   Rocky burst in and grinning a grin
   He said Danny boy this is a showdown
   But Daniel was hot, he drew first and shot
   And Rocky collapsed in the corner, ah

   "And now Rocky Raccoon he fell back in his room
   Only to find Gideon’s bible
   Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt
   To help with good Rocky’s revival, ah

   Rocky Raccoon+, (…another apparently bold raccoon gone wrong) by The Beatles.

   Dude! Have you ever seen a racoon attack a dog…U G L Y (my 90 pound hunting Lab had an encounter in Portola Valley that was…err…hair raising). That cat is lucky to be alive. And you get the Mutual of Omaha award for daring photography (while Marlin Perkins hovers safely overhead in a chopper) 😉

   Yeah, seriously. I’m with Jeff and sbove, racoons are wicked little buggers. I’ll keep my camera (and fingers) out of arms reach!

   Is that a polydactyl cat? From this angle it looks like your ambitious raton laveur-fighter is sporting an extra thumb! Perhaps the odds are on your side, what with the psy-mutie freak cat you got.

   Impressive shot, and not one I’d try to take. The typical racoon is much tougher than the typical cat.

   Go cat! I’m anti-raccoon myself, being a pet duck owner (well owned by the ducks really).

   Is the cat completely in the air? I can’t see any paws touching the ground. The one on the raccoon’s nose looks like it connected.

    Is the cat smacking the raccoon on the nose? I’ve never seen a cat stand up to one.

    Yeah, it’s an airborne lunge and swipe to the nose.
