Had to deal with this little guy yesterday as part of my job. Left some cat food outside to entice him to leave. Hopefully he's gone today.

This is a daily post for “casual” conversation. If you want to post or talk about something non autism related this is where to do it. For example if you want to info dump about your special interest but it doesn’t fall into “autism related” then you can post it here in the comments. All other rules are still active, be respectful to each other.

Please tell me you are standing farther back and just zoomed in.

Raccoon claws are very sharp and they can really screw you up.

No worries, I grew up in the country and have been around them my whole life. I know how close to get and when they are being aggressive. This poor guy was just scared.

I just wanted to make sure you knew.

When they get cornered they will defend themselves. Fear can easier turn into aggression.

Which connector types are those? Looks like N, but something is off..
