8. Last I heard, the rabies virus for Raccoons is limited to the east of the Mississippi

I found this interesting table on the CDC site https://www.cdc.gov/rabies/location/usa/surveillance/wild_animals.html



In Texas we worry about bats and skunks as rabies vectors.

According to the department of health person teaching a course to my scouts, raccoons were not subject to the rabies virus until some idiots took some infected dogs to Maine with a strain that could affect raccoons. As of the date of the CDC chart, it appears that the rabies version for raccoons still has not crossed the Mississippi

9. Interesting

I knew about skunks and bats.

12. The things that you learn as a BSA leader

According to the CDC, the raccoon rabies variant has not crossed the Mississippi

13. Better safe than sorry though

I remember when they said Lyme disease was only in one fairly small area.

2. I'm certain the raccoon isn't near as picky at dinner time.

I know the local raccoons have snuck in and scarfed the food our cats refused to eat

3. there used to be a commercial

Where a woman is calling her cat in for the night and lets a raccoon in.

I can't remember what it was for.

Find my glasses before playing with the cat.

19. A former boss had a pet raccoon as a kid.

I guess he got it when it was small. They grow up to be aggressive though, so it outlived its welcome.
