We have an enclosed "cat house" on our front porch with a little kittie door where they can go in and out. All the cat food and litter is out there (so you can't see it when you're on the porch). Lately, we've noticed that all the food is gone in the morning and in the past this has not been the case. We assumed we had something coming on the porch, slipping into the cat house, and eating the food. One evening we actually saw a raccoon out there. AH HA, so that's the culprit. We borrowed a live trap from a friend and baited it with....cat food, duh. The next morning - BINGO a raccoon. Hubby takes the trap, drives farther out in the country than we are (which isn't easy, by the way, because you gotta drive 30 minutes to get to the middle of nowhere from where we live) and releases Rocky Raccoon. Just to be safe, set the trap the following night. Um....caught Bullwinkle raccoon. And on....and on.....and on......Set the trap 5 nights, caught 5 raccoons. We decided we could probably do this every single night so now we just put the cat food away at night. So sorry cats, eat your dinner before dark.
I cleaned up the cage really well and I'll return it to my friend this next week when I go into town to grocery shop. However, I can't do anything "normal" so I decided it would be cute to have something in the cage when I return it. I purchased two stuffed....ready

penguins at a garage sale today. Spent a whopping $.50. I'll put those in there and make up a silly note about catching something odd on the porch and maybe they can help me identify it.
Should be cute.
