This isn't what you want to see when you walk out the door in the morning. I had just transplanted a chick and hen in this pot and now it's knocked over. Andy suspected a raccoon. I suspected our neighbor cat, Frankie. A review of the Ring camera showed a raccoon on the porch eating the cat food that I set out for neighborhood cats, but it also shows Frankie at the bottom of the stairs. The raccoon got spooked by Frankie and scurried off the porch, knocking the pot over. I found the chick and hen on the side of the stairs.
The stand-off with the raccoon looked very similar to thismincident the other day. This yellow cat wandered into the yard while Andy and I were sitting outside. Then Frankie hopped over the fence, they both started hissing at each other and I thought things were going to get ugly. Frankie may be scary to neighborhood animals but he's essentially a scaredy cat, at least when it comes to me, so I walked over and he jumped back into his own yard. Crisis averted.
