Raccoon To Park Slope: OH Yes, You Will Be Mine
Erica | Friday, March 6, 2009 at 12:24PM 
Please be on the look out for a wild, very pissed off Sunset Park Raccoon who is hell bent on becoming a Park Slope resident.
The dude probably read that bullshit about Pslope being the 7th Dreamiest neighborhood in the country or something. We really don't know...but he is not above eating through the windows of your beautiful brownstones, giving your children rabies OR fucking your nannies to make it happen.
WATCH OUT, EVERYONE! (and good luck kosherdave!)
"Last night I came home to my cat sitting on my bed, staring out the window. I thought I saw his reflection and that it was what he was staring at, then I realized it was a HUGE raccoon staring into my apt and I noticed my cat was actually growling at it. It had chewed through the screen of my window and tried to get in. The window was open about 3 inches.
Anyway, the thing was NOT scared of me. I tried to shoo it away and I closed the window, but for the next few hours it sat there and my other cat came to see it and they tried to smell each other thru the window. It actually seemed like it wanted to come in to be with the cats. Or maybe eat them."

This is scary shit. what are you going to do about it? I heard that racoons never stop till they get what they were after... they have long memories... dude, you're fucked.
yeah, it will eat your cat. or give it rabies. you're gonna have to kill it
You need more cats! My cats would never tolerate this invasion they would stay up nights! My cats growl at babies - our dogs are also very helpful in these situations - perhaps you could borrow a cat-friendly -friend's dog on a rotation? Much like socks and sandals are fashions enemy - dogs and raccoons don't mix.
Maybe it has already arrived to Parkslope! The other day my chair cushions in my backyard were torn apart and the stuffing was all over my yard. It was obviously done by an animal.
It will try to kill your cats. Keep the windows shut when you leave the house.
