Raccoons are actually closer in evolutionary terms to bears than they are to dogs or cats ๐Ÿค“

"wash bear" in many Germanic languages for a reason lol

Sounds really like a struggle session waiting to happen. Are racoons bourgeois for washing? Can we accept them as hexbears also

[โ€“] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's because they have a predilection for dunking or "washing" their food in pools of water.

Oh yeah its cute as shit, and sad when it's cotton candy because they don't understand what happened lol. I've fed a good amount of comrade raccoons at rescues and such. Great little wash bears

Tell that kitty to spook him off and close the window! It's unlikely, but the possibility of rabies creeps me out.

i suspect this picture is a repost and not an original from the OP. but yes, rabies is horrifying, and a real risk
