Had a bud who had one roamin' 'round his house... He was a pest... You couldn't sit down anywhere in the house and not have the sumagun in yer lap and then in yer shirt pocket messin' with yer stuff... You couldn't put hij down 'er he'd bite you... All you could do is stand up and have the pest work his way down ya...

Cats an' dogs is pets... Racoons is pests...
