This little masked bandit had been eating my cats’ food in the garage lately. I had a hunch it was a raccoon since the water dish would be really dirty, and I know raccoons like to wash their hands in water when they eat. My neighbor has this live trap, and it worked like a charm. My neighbor kills them because they often damage his vegetable garden and are a bit of a threat to his cat and dog. Some can be vicious, but this one was actually quiet and scared. I felt a little bad for him when I took the trap over to my neighbor’s house so he could “take care of him” later that day. My wife says next time I should take it up the canyon and let it go by the river. Maybe I will, if there is a next time.
