A metal trash can with a bungee cord holding the lid on. If they can get the can laying on its side they can sometimes get the lid slid to the side and still get in. To solve this shorten up the bungee cord by tying knots in the cord or loop the cord several times around the handle on the lid. The main thing is to get the cord as tight as possible.

Keep all food in a sturdy and secure container that would be difficult for a raccoon to open. A lockable, metal cooler would discourage most raccoons but it needs to be lockable as raccoons can quickly manipulate the latches that are normally factory installed.

Do raccoons eat cat food?

Raccoons are drawn to cat food, so don't leave animal food or water bowls outside. Always have your animals come inside to eat their meals. If you have raccoons in your area, then your cats should be inside all the time because racoons do attack cats and small dogs. Some raccoons carry rabies virus, and some raccoons have parasites in their feces that is fatal to humans, especially kids.racoons will eat pretty much anything. trust me, cat food would be a great treat for them. i live by them, and they will eat my trash if I dont put it into my garage.True! At twilight, I put out fresh water and a cup of very high quality dog food we feed our working dogs (much better than regular cat food). They far prefer this to killing and eating our barn cats.racoons will eat pretty much anything. trust me, cat food would be a great treat for them. i live by them, and they will eat my trash if I dont put it into my garage.True!

Can a safari cat can kill a raccoon or defend itself from harm?

It depends on how badly injured the cat is. Raccoons have been known to gang up on cats and carry them away to eat them; there is no probability of survival in that case. In other cases, cats have gotten away from raccoons with a few bites, and have survived with a few doses of antibiotics to stop the infection.
