Okay, that probably doesn't ease your mind. Look at it this way-- the cute birdie is in heav... no wait, that won't work either. Shit.

The cats never bother the raccoon. She's just one of the gang.As I understand it, raccoons can be pretty nasty customers. Bad attitude and the tools and ingenuity to back it up. The cats probably realize they're a few links further down the chain.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
