We did have a raccoon home invasion a few years back, via the cat door on the porch. Not only did they eat all the dry cat food in the kitchen but they resorted all the CDs in the studio. We have since added a 12-inch wall to the cat door balcony deck which was already two feet above the porch deck. But the raccoons had a really great time in their soiree.
