Animal traffic has always been heavy in Brian Lee’s yard. There is frequently a changing cast of feline characters coming through since he and his wife assist the Ohlone Humane Society in trapping and spaying and neutering stray cats in the region. They installed a camera to monitor all the feline guests, but in the process, they also caught sights of other creatures.

We have avocado trees in the yard, and at this time of year, when they are growing ripe, raccoons are always drawn to them, Lee said.

The raccoons quickly caught on to the fact that Lee and his wife feed the feral cats, and even though they never leave the food out overnight, the raccoons still love to stop by to check, just in case.

One night, a raccoon was checking for food and decided to stop for a moment in front of the camera — and ended up getting caught in quite the embarrassing position.

“He didn’t stay long since there was no food, but I guess just happened to have an itch when he was in front of the camera,” Lee said.

When Lee checked the camera the next morning, he couldn’t help but laugh at the poor, unsuspecting raccoon who’d accidentally gotten caught scratching his butt on camera.

“When I saw it in the previous night’s motion alerts … I didn’t know what to think,” Lee said.

Lee shared the photo with his wife and some friends, and they all had a good laugh. The camera is out there to keep an eye on the cats, and, apparently, the raccoons felt a little left out and decided to start putting on a show.
