I just moved to an apartment right next to the woods. I thought it would be perfect for the babies since they could go out on the porch and watch the birds, squirrels, and other wildlife in the woods.
Little did I know that raccoons would start coming around, harassing my babies.
I let them out on the porch one night for about 10 minutes while I was in the shower. When I got out of the shower, the cats were gone. The screen on the porch was torn open, and there were raccoon tracks all over.
Of course I thought the worst at first. =( I called out for them, and eventually both of them came prancing back.
The apartment complex just fixed the screen, however I have not let my babies out since.
I want to badly, because they enjoy it so much.
So what I want is some suggestions on how I could keep raccoons out? Chicken fencing?
I just know they are miserable staying in the house when they used to love laying in the sun watching the animals on the porch.
