My cat is a decent size and can probably outrun a raccoon.
Also, If your cat is a kitten, it may not have the speed.
I'm pretty sure it has happened in the past but any regular outside cat could easily out run a racoon but there are some smart racoons out there.
Your cat should be fine, racoons tend to corner animals then make a pounce onto them, your cat should easily outsmart it anyway.
I think not either. I mean cats...they can run up trees and the thing is yet can land really well.
I'm sure raccoons can get up trees, but it wouldn't be as efficient...and then...it wouldntake a while for them to get down.
