I don't think we should add a door to the garage due to the number of racoons in the area.  As it is, we have already had to be very careful about bringing in food immediately after Ftiz eats and racoons have gone after Ftiz while he's eating a few times (I've grabbed the kitchen broom and taken...

I know I am bumping my ancient thread, but I wanted to give an update and get advice once again. A quick synopsis of the previous events: Its been nearly a year and a half since we started taking care of Fitz.  6 months in he was badly hurt and we brought him to the vet for surgery and a...
