Annndddd The Raccoon Came Back The Very Next Year

The persistent little bugger is back!  Presumably to make a nice, dry nest in the attic of the house because that is definitely one of the places it seems to want to get into.  This time around it is making no bones about wanting to get in.  Any way it can.  A couple of nights ago it tried to get in through an upper window of the house (freaked me out when I looked out the window and there it was looking back at me!).  My theory on this one is that, at some point, ole Rocky looked in the house, saw the larger of the two cats (who coincidentally has a raccoon like tail) and thought "Damn Brother, you got a nice gig going on here. Think I wanna get me some of that! - presuming this particular raccoon talks a little gangsta.)  Well I don't think so dude.  We are again waging an all out critter war on this bad boy because the last time it tried to create a nice little home in the attic it cost us thousands of dollars to replace the roof (Which it tore up in various different spots.  Even pulling out the insulation!)  The only problem is, this fella/lady (don't know is it is a she or a he but we keep calling it a he because he is clearly an asshole!) is the most stubborn critter I have ever seen!  It is not scared of us at all and no matter what we do to scare it off it just sits there and glares at us or very slowly walks to another portion of the roof.  I keep telling the other members of the Raccoon Brigade that we need to block its access to the roof but apparently I am the lowest member of the troupe so this idea has not been considered.  Yet.  I am sure the men folk will come to the same conclusion soon.  Now to find a way to make them think its their idea, quickly, before we have another roof to replace! (Or a litter of new, super cute, raccoon babies up in the attic!)
