The last two nights in a row, we've had some interesting and adorable animals show up at our back door. The first night, it was three baby raccoons, making the cutest little chirpy noises. We (adults only) went out cautiously, watching for the mother, ready to run for safety, but never saw her. The babies swarmed us and tried to climb up our legs but didn't scratch or bite.
Noah put his stuffed raccoons by the door so they could see their relatives. :)
Then last night, another cute surprise. We did NOT go outside to commune with this one.
The cats were very interested in the skunk. They all checked each other out, but nobody got hostile.
I wonder who will turn up tonight?

What a fun story and great pictures.
Really? A skunk that close? So brave.
The cats watching (and Noah's stuffed animals) - adorable.

The momma of the coons might have been hit by a car - they rarely let them run alone like that. Have the kids ever been to the hands on exhibit at Wildlife Prairie Park? They used to have a descented skunk that you could pet...I have never felt fur that was so soft. It was very suprising since most wild animals have a more coarse fur (I think for insulation). Such cute visitors!! I would have adopted the coons and let them live with me - but that is why you now have two cats - cuz I am a push over for aminals! (Yes I spelled it wrong - LOL)
