I have racoons who scale my 6 foot stockage fence run along the top of the fence and on to my deck. I don't feed the dogs outside but geesh its scary. Now we have to flash the flashlight around for any red eyes before we open the door and let the dogs out. They found them on top of the fence one night. So have to be cautious now.

Opened the door quick and turned he light on and an opossum was dragging my outside cat dish around trying o take it into a less open spot I am guessing. o I changed the feeding dish and put out an old cookie sheet instead. he cats seem to like it better since they don't have to butt heads to eat nd the opossum must be nervous of it because when it moves around it makes a ot of noise. aybe a purple bowl was just too much of a treasure for a critter!

It was a very large purple plastic bowl When we went to feed, the bowl was gone. We searched over 1/2 acre of ield and up to the woods and could not find it Something carried it off. The cats are fine, but something stole the bowl and it was porbably almost empty as we only put out enough to feed he cats 2 times a day (0nce uin the morning and once at night) =========================================================================== OST is Copyrighted 2012.
