Joyce Coomer advice from stopping dogs from stealing cats' food

Possibly more severe problem: Raccoon racketeers imitating successful cat ploys

By Joyce Coomer

Put the food up high enough the dog can't get to it. Pretty dog, looks like he's wearing a collar. Have you checked for tags?



Any time there's food out there'll be an animal show up for supper.

We have raccoons. Sunday evening, heard them on the porch, turned on the light to see how many, and instead of their leaving as they usually do, they reared up on the storm door and looked in, like the cats do.

One went to the latch side of the door and stood up and patted the edge of the door like he'd seen Blue Gill Cat do . . . guess he figured if it worked for the cats, it'd work for him!
