'Pet Raccoon'

Pet Raccoon

By Kelly Jelly at 06/21/07 08:18

A raccoon was the next pet I got after my cherished shark Bruno passed away. My mother gave me the raccoon for my birthday. I looked at the cute little baby raccoon and immediately thought of a name for him; Mr. Tiggles.

Mr. Tiggles and I had so much fun together when he was still a young raccoon. But when he got older he became more secluded from me. He would isolate himself in the bathroom, and when I came in to use the porcelain throne, Mr. Tiggles would hiss wildly at me. Then at night when I would lie down to get a good night's rest, he would jump onto my bed and start thrashing like he had rabies. He basically kicked me off the bed and claimed it for himself.

Finally I got fed up with Mr. Tiggles. I went to Wal-Mart and bought myself as Blowgun with some Tranquilizer darts. As I crept back into my house, I saw Mr. Tiggles ripping open a cereal box in my kitchen. I fired a dart from my blowgun, but missed the raccoon by a few inches. He looked up at me and hissed, but it was too late for him. A second dart stuck out of his neck, for I was just to quick for Mr. Tiggles. The raccoon then found a new home at my mother-in-law's house, where he continues to wreck havoc.

Now what is the moral of this story? Pet sharks are way cooler than raccoons.

You are very disturbed. That story scares me. Seek immediate professional help, for everyone's safety.

What are some names for raccoons from the book WHERE THE RED FERN GROWS?

hi, so I was looking up coon names and I read your story. This has happened to me several times. I just thought I would let you know for further experiences with racoons that you must get them spayed or nuetered (like a dog.) When the grow older they get in heat and go wild. So, yeah. Just thought I might help:) they will be as friendly as before they grew up.

sorry for the incorrect spelling

Well when i was about 15 my dad got me and my sister a coon and my was named ricky and my sisters was rocky and they were the cutes little things u have ever seen and they knew what they wanted.

I just love raccoons a lot. I want one so bad but I live in the state of Georgia which is illegal for. I'm 19 years old and I actually cried about it and I oftenly threatened to kill myself because I want a pet raccoon so badly. I been so depressed the past 20 months and I still am. All I ask is to have a raccoon to love and be affectionate with. Why put that against the law? I know they're maily wild animals but I don't care about that at all. I mean, is a pet raccoon to be affectionate with too much to ask? I just don't know what to do. I just need as many poeple as possible to convince the law makers or whoever to make pet raccoons legal in this stupid state like they did for ferrets in California. I need as many poeple as possible so I may have a pet raccoon to hold in my arms and love to death on. Your help is most appreciated, thanks!

i dont think you should have any pet let alone a raccoon. if you can't take care of yourself emotionally how do you expect to be responsible for another's life?

That is awesome!how far away were you? did you eat him?

Who is this idot crying and begging for a Raccoon? Dude, get a damn life! You are a mess! Raccoons are a everyday of every minute pet, You can't just decide you want one and get it! You need to do some research before you ever making that commitment. Distemper is the most fatal thing to Raccoons and no vet in georgia will be able to properly care for the coon, they will not allow you to have your pet back. I am Licensed through the state and pray they keep it illegal so people like you don't make a coons life a living hell.

okay,

SERIOUSLY lady, what is your issue??

why would you KILL yourself because you cant have a PET?? you would probably KILL the racoon if you would LOVE IT TO DEATH!!!

they are meant to be free, and if you cant do that, then....

you definetly should NOT have one...

I mean really!

people who have wild animals are EXPERIENCED, and know how to care for them

you just want something because you cant have it, I think.

get a cat, or something.

Ok I'm 14 and want a raccoon REALLY bad. I've had one before so I know I would be bringing on a lot of responsibility. The one we had lost her mother to hunters and was found on one of my dad's friends porch. She was the cutest little baby I had ever seen, she never made any noise, never bite and never scratched anyone in the house. But the problem this time is that my step mom is going to have a baby and I don't really know if it would be the best idea to have a new born baby and a raccoon in the same house so I'm asking you what you think.
