Hal, the Wyze Pan Cam covering the stairs in the garage, has a speaker so you can remotely talk to someone at the other end. Except I don’t know if it actually works that well. The sound may be garbled. While exercising on my stationary bike, I remembered I hadn’t brought in the cat food,… Continue reading Hal’s Microphone

Stray Cat in Garage
A stray cat wandered into our garage. Ironically, it has white and black bands on its tail, just like a raccoon. Rosie and Pippen appear to be out of the garage. There is no food or water in the cat dish, so the only real reason to stay is to rest and get warm. After… Continue reading Stray Cat in Garage
Waiting to Leave the Den
A raccoon waits for a couple minutes in the entrance of the den, watching for the perfect moment to leave.
Entering, but Not Exiting
Widey enters the den three times in 17 minutes, but the camera doesn’t capture her leaving. Either she exits so slowly the camera doesn’t register it, or there is a second exit.
Widey Determined in the Garage
Widey goes up the garage steps and starts eating out of the cat dish. Pippen is sitting in the cat bed, but doesn’t seem to object. A couple minutes later, Widey returns down the stairs. She stops at the side of the car and stands on her hind legs for a moment. Widey walks toward… Continue reading Widey Determined in the Garage
Waiting at the Tire Tunnel
Target and Widey leave the den. Target enters the tire tunnel as daylight fades to black (and white.) Widey joins Target in the tunnel. Target takes a position at the tunnel opening After waiting about five minutes, Target leads way toward the side of the shed, and Widey follows. Eight minutes later, the raccoons return… Continue reading Waiting at the Tire Tunnel
Widey Daylight Expedition, February 17
Widey leaves the den at 6:13 PM, just a few minutes after sunset. After being outside for a little more than a minute, Widey considers going back inside, then wanders over and disappears under the other shed. A couple minutes later, Widey returns to the den.
Target and Cotton Grooming
After leaving the den, Cotton stands by the tire tunnel, still with a damaged tail. Target leaves the tires and stands grooming by the shed. Cotton follows and for nearly a minute they groom each other.
Tip Still Attached to Cotton‘s Tail
Three days after fighting with with another raccoon, Cotton still hasn’t lost the top of its tail. I picked the name because, once the last piece falls off, the tail will end with a white band (a Cotton tail.) Widey, who also lost the tip of its tail, ends with a black band. In these… Continue reading Tip Still Attached to Cotton‘s Tail
Target Steals the Cat Dish, Again, February 17
Target enters the garage. Pippen, sleeping in the cat bed, looks up as the raccoon approaches. Target carefully takes the entire cat dish down the stairs and sets it down beside the car. There must have been some food in the dish (oops) because Target doesn’t leave the garage for another six minutes. From the… Continue reading Target Steals the Cat Dish, Again, February 17
