Animal Holidays

In honor of all Animal Holidays This is a short video of "Jasper the raccoon" playing with a cat toy in the back yard of the cottage. Raccoons play just like cats do and it's so much fun to watch! Jasper is a wild animal and not a pet, but does come to visit and play with my cats frequently. And "No" Jasper is not in a pen. My cats are house cats and not allowed to run loose- so I have a pen for my cats where they can come and go- in and out of the house as they please, but can't go outside of the pen. I'm taking the video from inside the cats pen. :) Little Jasper is known for sitting by the pen and watching the cats play with their toys. Sooner or later Jasper starts reaching through the fence trying to get in on the fun. Many times he/she (I don't know if it's a girl or a boy raccoon) is lucky enough to steel away a toy as you see from the video; and he/she plays up a storm. I love all animals and it's a joy to watch them :)
