I don't know if raccoons are an issue around here, haven't seen one yet. And, strangely enough, I had more squirrels and rabbits (and coyotes) in my urban-but-next-to-a-flood-control-channel home in Irvine than my bordering-on-the-edge-of-near-ruraldom home in Vancouver.
We had a coyote in our yard today and raccoons are all over PNW - can be an issue when pet food left out
or pets themselves.
Oh man, probably another thing I'm going to hell for for laughing too hard.
coyotes love cats. they are like wings for them.
Oh yeah, coyotes running off with little dogs is a HUGE issue in SoCal but most people are oblivious, then don't think coyotes can be "in the city". See aforementioned "flood control channel", it's a direct highway to/from the foothills and wetlands for the yotes.
Didn't see one, but had someone warn me at an off-leash park in OR. Since Abby is "snack size" I clipped her leash on.
we didn't have many coyotes in this area when I was young. very few. Then about 30 years ago they started to re-integrate wild turkeys. Then came the coyotes.

Cathy, your 'winter 101' questions are definitely a fun part of these threads!
Words do not exist for me to describe just how silly I feel asking these things. Thankfully everyone (in both my digital and real life) has been understanding. Entertained, sometimes profusely so, but understanding.
I mean I was worried about a power outage during the ice storm. My 4-decades of living in SoCal brain tells me to worry about the food in the fridge going bad. Nah, I could have just put everything out on the patio and it would have been good for days.
Pretty sure I can FEEL the neural pathways rewriting themselves in my brain!
I think I'd be slightly paranoid about racoons taking the food on the patio.
I do have to have the conversation about outside food storage with my mom at Easter once in a while (e.g. it's 11C, no you can't keep stuff outside anymore!)

My Mother in law was becoming a cat lady had about 20 or more cats hanging around her farm land in Fresno and the Coyotes discovered where they were and she was no longer a cat lady
