Every now and then, I come across a video that totally amazes me and reminds me of just how smart and resourceful animals can be. This video, starring an adorable momma raccoon, is definitely one of those!
Like most animals, this raccoon's first priority is making sure she is fed. Luckily for her, the spot she chose to make her home just so happened to be in the backyard of a very kind woman who didn't mind her raiding the cat's food dish left on the porch.
And just like Lily the grape-stealing raccoon, this critter didn't mind if she got caught in the act!
But when the sweet little girl became pregnant, she found that the left over cat food just wasn't cutting it and needed to let someone know that she needed more food!
Once she realized that using a rock to knock on the door was the perfect way to get attention (…and more food), she decided to stick with it!
According to the video poster, this smart raccoon, now appropriately named"Rocksy," will knock for hours at a time if needed, and has even scratched up their door pretty good, but they still love her like a pet. And really, when you see that face, could you blame them??
If this video made you laugh, please SHARE!
