Cute but MEAN!

So how does something that is this cute

be so destructive and mean?

For weeks now we have had SOME THING

come around our back porch and just destroy it.

I keep cat food out for our one outdoor cat

and we woke up one morning to find her feeder

tossed off the porch into the cornfield.

And not just right at the edge of the field,

DEEP INTO THE FIELD!

What the heck! What could have flung that feeder

so far in there?

So DH was not happy to go in there and retrieve it.

HMMM!

So I put it away during the night and we'd see paw prints

all over our back table.

Looks like raccoon prints.

We went away one weekend and our neighbor kept

an eye on things,

fed my outdoor cat and put the food away

then one morning she came back

there to find the waterer gone!

We looked, and looked in the  corn field and it has

DISAPPEARED!

How could a Raccoon have that

much strength?

At this point we thought maybe it was Bigfoot's child!

So, I was lazy one evening and decided to put the cat food

on top of our propane tank when I came out the

next morning, there were paw prints all over

that tank and my planter was laying against it with dirt

everywhere.

It used the planter as a ladder since you could see he

kept slipping down the tank.

Now I'm FRUSTRATED!

Our neighbor offered his shotgun but we didn't want

to do that, no need, so we got a trap yesterday

put in grapes, marshmallow's and honey.

Hoping to trap whatever this thing was

and move it to another location.

Sure enough!

Hubby said the thing scared him half

to death.

He snarled, growled, tried to get at him through

the cage.

He drove him to an area in a woodsy

"neighborhood"

and the poor, scared thing was so angry, but of course

probably more scared than anything

was not happy.

I asked my hubby when he let him out, did he try to get

at him?

He said

if it had we'd be talking in a hospital because he

would of been recovering from a

heart attack!
