It was an interesting afternoon in my backyard. My faithful cat Mack was in full force defending the backyard from invaders. We had 2. One was a clone of my Mack-a-doodle, a stray who comes and whines from time to time. They both just sat in full regal stance staring at me as invader #2 entered the territory…the evil raccoon.

That’s when the standoff began. Mack chased poor lil one eyed Jack (this is what I named him after realizing he is missing an eye) up the fence. It was quite entertaining to see a raccoon twice the size of my cat run away in fear. Although I’ve gotta give it to mack, he is mighty fierce.

I have to say lil one eye scared me a bit for being so close to the house. Hope he doesn’t have rabies. I got very close to him to take some pics (shot this with my 35mm so I was practically in his face). We might have to call someone in if he keeps hanging out like this. But for now, it made for quite an adventure.
