Would a cat fight a raccoon?
Raccoon and cat fights are not common but can happen. In general, cats tend to ignore raccoons and raccoons frequently avoid cats. If, however, a cat is chasing a raccoon then the furry bandit will defend itself especially if cornered and the fight could go badly for the cat. Raccoons also love dog and cat food.
Who would win a cat or a raccoon?
A raccoon would win a fight against a cat. Raccoons are bigger than most cats, and it’s nearly impossible for the smaller animal to launch an attack that would kill the raccoon immediately. As such, the fight would break down into a desperate scramble, and the raccoon would win in that scenario.
Do racoons eat cats?
When no other food is available, raccoons might even prey upon kittens and small cats, but other times, they can be seen eating side-by-side when cats are fed outdoors.
