I had left the screen door only closed one night and heard a ruckus going on and when I got to the living room I saw my 12 yr old cat on his back legs clawing at the screen at a large racoon on the other side. Never had a racoon on my deck that early in the evening before. The racoon could have easily clawed through the screen and clawed him bad, but was obviously toying with him. The next night the racoon was back with 4 of it's months old babies and all were badgering him.
Where I am they get pretty tame and surprisingly playful. One racoon was on a neighbor's diving board and was swiping at a stand up inflatable dolphin as it circulated around the pool. Sure enough he got a direct hit and that was it for the dolphin.
