Hands up everyone that spent 1:00-2:30am getting a racoon off their roof and patching the hole it ate through the roof decking.
Just me?
Odd.

I'd blame the ****ing contractor who left traces of his tuna sandwich under there.

Wow, times must be tough for those northern critters ... can't say that I've heard of one trying to get into the house that way.
I've had to shoo them, and the occasional possum, and the neighbor's cat, away from the cat's food in our garage. Would that I had video of Mrs. medic8r stomping her feet on the driveway and taunting a possum never to come back here again!!!
Then there was the time, when I was 12 or so, that my Mom finally got fed up with opossums raiding our chicken house. One night when she heard the typical ruckus, she grabbed the shotgun and treed one. BLAM!!! She liked to brag that it rained possum for a week.

Ha, good one.  You are actually on the money, according to Dr. Evans, one of my professors. During a lecture on object relations, she said, "Men go into psychiatry to figure out their mothers."
"That's what Dr. Misch said!" I exclaimed, as our training director indeed did like to talk about his crazy mother and how he finally understood her after all these years of training.
"You're projecting," said the wise Dr. Evans.
That has stuck with me. I think I've got Mom pegged now. And my mother-in-law. Still working on the wife and, oh, the self.

W have lots of raccoons and they can get into ANYTHING!!
Houdini has nothing on them. Never heard of them eating through a roof though. The ones around here would be more likely to stick bubblegum in your door lock and walk right in.
I can barely remember a friend of my mothers who had a pet racoon. Walked it around on a leash. Add that into your Analyze your Mom thoughts.
I do remember that I hated it, I was scared of it and it kept steeling my Cheesies.

I devised an invention called the "edible grenade." So far, it's been foolproof.
