Maybe this pattern has led you to believe that your outdoor cat will also fend off other nuisance pests and wildlife. And although cats can scare away squirrels and rabbits, there are some things in nature cats are not meant to take on, and raccoons are one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raccoons are dangerous to pets and people. Cats should never\nbe allowed to attack or fend off raccoons under any circumstances.

Raccoon Diseases<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Raccoons are known carriers of several infectious and\nhighly-contagious diseases. Among these various illnesses, one of the scariest\nis Rabies. Rabies is a virus that, once infected, is fatal 100% of the time.\nOther diseases and illnesses include Roundworm, Distemper, Leptospirosis, lice,\nmites, ticks, fleas, and more. Not only can these diseases and pests be transferred\nto another animal, such as your pet cat, they can also be transmitted to\nhumans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pet Vaccinations<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Cats and dogs are common victims of raccoon attacks because they are usually curious and like to sniff. As a result, thousands of pets have contracted Rabies and other infectious diseases from raccoons and other wild animal species. For this reason, it is vital to have your pet (cat or dog) vaccinated annually against Rabies and more. Read our recent blog, \u201cWhat You Need to Know About Rabies Vaccinations<\/a>\u201d to learn more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
