oh Sinsull! I'll have to check that out.

Kat" good suggestions! I will look. As for the nature of things - it is only to be expected! Being food to natural predators is one thing, Being ripped to pieces by dogs, chased by human animals with guns and dogs for "sport" .... I believe every animal has a right to life.

Charley: You got it! raccoons have some lovely sounds which could fit nicely into those categories. Every sound they make has meaning. We were amazed by the communication skills of our two kits.

I did not tell y'all that I consider them incredibly beautiful creatures, far more interesting than any dog or cat. But I also believe they deserve to live their lives as raccoons, not house pets.

Here I go to look some more.
