The skunks smell the catfood and hang outside on the patio but they are not smart enough to figure out how to open the screen door. Although one night last summer, I thought pork chop was at the screen door, by the time I opened the door and he walked past me I realized it was not pork chop but Pepe Le Peu. He practically walked right over my feet.
I had to wait for him to finish his late nite snack and then leave. I have a lot of run ins with Skunks but have never been sprayed. I think you really have to mess with them to get them to spray.
Racoons. Not so amiable.

When I had a back yard, my kitty used to hang with the raccoons (that were as big as bears in some cases). Once I looked out the back window and he was sitting on the stoop and I counted twenty raccoons sitting around him. They were just sitting there, hanging out. It was sweet. This went on for about a year until I moved. He moved to my parents' house and continues to hang with the raccoons there.
And don't feed the raccoons. the reason they are so big is because they have plenty to eat.
