She was coming here and I started to feed her, so she kept coming back. <IMG src="https://community.qvc.com/DesktopModules/ExactTarget/Controls/TextEditor/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/001_smile.gif" alt="Smile" /> Then she got her paw hurt (possibly bitten by some animal??) and she pretty much stayed on my carport while she recovered.</P> <P>Anyway, the problem is that raccoons are eating the food I put out for her and they are scaring her. Does anyone know how I can keep the raccoons away, but not hurt the cat? I have been keeping the carport light on all night, and that seemed to help for awhile, but the last 2 nights, they have been here--made a mess of the food/water and scared away the cat. Tonight I fed her and when she was finished, I put the food inside, but I would like to leave some dry out for her in case she gets hungry at night.</P> <P>Any ideas??</P> Fri, 18 Feb 2011 09:04:10 GMT C and C Forever 2011-02-18T09:04:10Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Question-about-raccoons/m-p/32651#M15805 <P>As some of you know, I have been adopted by a little stray cat.
