We care for a colony of feral cats in the woods behind our home. One day when it had been pouring rain for hours, I had to place the food right by our back door, under cover. Once the cats had eaten their fill, this raccoon came up on the deck for a bite. Normally, we chase the raccoons off. But this one is a nursing mama. We decided to let her finish the little bit of food that was left. She's chewing here, but kind of looks like she is saying, "Thank you for the food!"
