I think the issue is that you did state in your initial email that you don't want an indoor pet cat, so you keep Buddy in an outside cage. That makes it sound like you don't care. That might not be the case -- perhaps you do love him -- but I would rather my kitty be inside with me where he's

Yes, raccoons are mostly nocturnal, but when they have young ones, they can also be seen during the day, looking for more food. This makes many people call ACOs when they see raccoons during the day, wrongly assuming that there's something wrong with them, like rabies, distemper. From:
