Subject: RE: BS: What the Cat dragged home
I had a good friend in the 70s who started feeding one on his back porch and next thing ya' know the sumabich was wandering in this guys house... Very disconcerting 'cause the rat-coon would climb up you, get in yer lap, mess with stuff in your pockets and you couldn't really pick it up and set it down 'cause it would get all hissy... Only way to get it off you was to stand up and then it would climb down...

BTW, rat-coons when they pissed can hurt you or yer pets purdy bad...

Only wild mammal-animal (always had snakes and turtles) I had as a kid was a squirrel I raised from a little guy (3 inches long)... He lived in my bedroom in a bird cage (door always open) and had free run of the house... But he was 100% tame...
