Like cats, but cuter? Yeah, like cats, but they climb drapes more, tearup
furniture more, break valuables more, and generally cause more chaos...am I
wrong?

Nope. You're right. Besides all that, I've heard that it's darn
difficult to find a vet to treat them, that the rabies shots for dogs
(which is what they're given if one can find a vet) aren't proven to
work, that they're wild animals and that they require almost constant
attention.

Raccoons are only for the most devoted animal lovers and hardy pet
owners. If you want something like a cat but cuter, best to keep on
looking for a cuter cat, rather than taking on an animal you might
make miserable by not knowing how to care for.

I agree on the outrageous curiosity and cuteness. I have a pet raccoon and
he is a little demon if you're not watching him 24/7! He's been a pet and
will always be a pet. We understand the boundries of each other and we get
along just fine. He is about a year old and I've had him since he was only
a few days old (mother was killed). If you or anyone else is looking to
adopt a coon as a pet...think about this. If you have ANYTHING in your
homethat you love, cherish, and enjoy...can you live without it? Your coon
WILL find it, and WILL destroy it. I had to install small luggage locks on
all of my cabinet doors and put up a scratching post for him or he'd destroy
all of our kitchen goods and climb the door jambs.

Owning a raccoon is nothing like owning a cat. and besides the problem of
finding a vet to treat them, you have to worry about other people and pets
around them. My cats and dog enjoy playing with him but he does play a
little rough at times. Be sure you worm them on a regular basis as they do
carry round worms, very harmfull to people as well as other pets. You can
get the worming medicine from any co-op or livestock supply house.

Likening a Raccoon to a cat is about the same analogy that I heard a pet store owner telling a customer: "Oh a ferret is just like a hamster but a little bigger. They stay in a box all the time.They don't get into anything and are really easy to keep." A serious misstatement of fact. I have had ferrets (still have one very old fella)- they are nothing like hamsters. I have a raccoon (or he has me) and he is nothing like a cat.

Check your state's regulations. In many it is a fineable offense to be in
possession of wildlife without a permit. Wild-born animals are to be
rehabilitated by a licensed rehabber and returned to the wild. Those sold
as pets, including raccoons, often must be obtained from a licensed breeder
and some states require a permit for the purchaser as well.

Raccoon rabies is a big, serious problem all along the East coast of the
United States and the threat continues to spread westward. Most states have
strict regulations and procedures for handling wild raccoons, which include
the ability to quarantine. Rabies is transmissible to both humans and other
animals. Raccoons are also often carriers of distemper, which is
transmissible to other animals, including dogs and cats. Raccoon roundworms
can cause serious health problems as well. Cute and cuddly raccoon babies
can be carriers as easily as adults.

Exotics, even captive-bred, do not make good pets. There are rare
combinations of person and animal that work, but for the most part, do not
encourage such enterprises. Let the wild-born live wild and instead help
the millions and millions of stray or abandoned domesticated animals find a
home. If you feel you must be closer to wildlife, get the necessary
education and become a licensed wildlife rehabilitator.

All I can say is AMEN, coons are little demons, and I know I live with a 15
month old female raccoon named Sassy. They are extremely smart and like you
said have to be watched 24/7.
and they BITE and scratch and you have to live with it because they can't
be declawed or defanged, (some say you can but it causes the animal pain all
the time)
For anyone wanting a baby coon they are cute and loveable at times when they
want to be. Just imagine if a cat had 20 NON-RETRACTABLE claws. Cats can
retract them so they don't scratch anything like a coon. Imagine not having
a single T-shirt that don't have holes in it.
Don't get me wrong I LOVE my baby Sassy. but I would not recommend having a
coon as a PET, they are a constant companion they dictate where you go and
how long you go for. be prepared to provide for them in your will.
Well now that I have written a essay I will shut up lol.

About the only thing a coon has in common with a cat is that they both have claws and CLIMB everything including people.
