Maybe a couple of weeks ago, nah...maybe not that long, at least a week ago for sure, I spotted a Raccoon crawling on the fence.
I reckon he/she's(?) been hangin out around here a lot longer than 2 weeks, though. Hard to say. There are/were(?) a lot of stray cats in this neighborhood so I figured all the noises I was hearing at night were from, not just Kee Kee (the cat that just waltzed right into my life and my soul), but from the stray cats as well.
Only thing is, for a while now, I've been seeing these dig marks and holes in the saucers I've got around my 2 Beautiful Mystery Queens. Remember asking myself "WTF would cats be digging holes around my plants like that?". I just blew it off as some freaky thing some cats like to do and didn't give it any more thought...until I spotted that Raccoon
That Raccoon's got to be the one diggin them holes. Must like diggin for grubs and/or worms. We gots plenty of Fig Beetle Larvae (grubs) in the soil; somethin tells me this Raccoon's got a taste for Fig Beetle grubs. Not hurting my Queens at all.
Saw it again last night while sittin on the front porch. Looked right at me as he/she was climbin up the Juniper tree.
Cute little squirt.
