I had a possum and a groundhog that would do this at a place I lived in the Catskills

I love a raccoon, but I hate ringaganda

The raccoon didn’t even have to be clever, given that they provided an open door for it to come through. If it was a chipped cat door, and the raccoon stole the cat’s collar, or waited for the cat to come in and followed it, that would have been clever. (And I’ve heard of animals doing the latter, at least.)

From 20 years ago already… the Flo control system for keeping the wrong animals from coming through your cat door (dead or alive).

Just a possum for me, right in the heart of Houston.

Would love to know how long it took Flo to figure out that the carrying of carrion and the door being locked were somehow connected.
And this, posted elsewhere here yesterday by @iknownuurthing, seems to fit the bill here. The people in the cartoon could have done with a Flo (Scruffles) Control, for sure.

Looks like those raccoons and cats have been doing more than just “chowing down”…

What happens at the food bowl, stays at the food bowl, besides who am I to judge.

We had racoons that would:
- come in through a cat door in the basement
- up the stairs through another cat door into the kitchen
- open a floor level cabinet door with a latch on it
- party in the kitchen
One night I heard them but when I went into the kitchen they weren’t there: they were partying in the living room with the cat food on the freakin’ sofa!! They almost knocked me over running out. After a minute or two I opened the door to the basement and they were waiting at bottom of the stairs for me to go back to sleep. Cheeky critters: I had to laugh. But that was end of the cat doors!

There’s a pretty good chance that beast was pregnant, not fat.
… A.I. has trouble with the concept of “individuals”
There is catness and raccoonness in the picture
