ouch

Tonight I hit a racoon. It jumped right in front of my car, and I had no chance to swerve. I've had many near misses with animals. This is the first time I hit one. It made me sad. We went back to move the body out of the road out of respect, and it wasn't there. Must have missed the tires and gone under the vehicle. If I were superstitious...

It probably crawled off the road and died. I've seen cats do that.

Interesting coincidence: Just as I was reading your post, a racoon came to our back door to eat from the cat's food bowl. In full daylight.

I think he/ she lives somewhere in our yard as he's a regular around here.

Yeah, I figure you're right. Spared itself the indignity of being run over multiple times.

Jung would say synchronicity.

Me, I have opossums eating out of our cat bowls.

Thanks for checking in Fred.

We got a possum eating out of the cat bowl, too. We think it might be living under the house, AGAIN!

Moves on when it gets too big to crawl through the hole to get in there.
