IF
IF MIRACULOUS RESULTS ARE PROMISED, IT IS PROBABLY TOO
GOOD TO BE TRUE.
INSTAGRAM SAYS IT WILL TAKE
THOSE POSTS DOWN.
NOW YOU'RE UP TO SPEED.
TRAM MAI ?
>>> THIS NEXT STORY IS
HILARIOUS AND A LITTLE CREEPY.
ONE OF OUR 12 NEWS EMPLOYEES
CAPTURED THIS VIDEO OF A LITTLE
RACCOON JUST MAKING HIMSELF A
HOME INSIDE HER KITCHEN, EATING
THE FOOD SET OUT FOR HER CATS.
THE VIDEO ALMOST TOO GOOD TO BE
TRUE, AND ALL NEW TONIGHT AT
10:00, WE ARE FINDING OUT WHY
THIS LITTLE GUY KEEPS COMING
BACK.
BACK.
BACK. WILLIAM JOINS US LIVE FROM THAT
HOME.
HOME.
HOME. WILL, WHAT DID YOU SEE FROM
THIS LITTLE CREATURE WHILE YOU
WERE AT HER HOUSE?
>>
>>
>> >>
>> >> Reporter: I WAS A LITTLE
SKEPTICAL. I SAW THE VIDEO, I
KNEW THIS THING MUST BE REAL.
IT WAS NOT UNTIL I ACTUALLY
SHOWED UP IN THE HOUSE WHILE WE
WERE WAITING FOR THE TOP OF THE
SHOW THAT IT REALLY BECAME
REAL.
REAL.
REAL. THIS THING IS NOT ALONE.
>> RIGHT THERE, THAT ONE IS
PHOEBE.
PHOEBE.
PHOEBE. >> Reporter: AND THAT IS
PHOEBE'S CAT DOOR, PHOEBE IS
NOT THE ONLY ONE USING IT.
ANNE STEGEN, WHO HELPS TO RUN
THE 12 NEWS WEBSITE HAS HAD A
WRECK ON SURPRISING HER IN THE
KITCHEN FOR THE LAST MONTH.
>> THIS IS THE ENTRYWAY FROM
THE RACCOONS POINT OF VIEW.
>> Reporter: EACH TIME IT IS
THE SAME.
THE SAME.
THE SAME. THE RACCOON COMES IN THROUGH
THE CAT DOOR, EATS THE FOOD AND
LEAVES.
LEAVES.
LEAVES. >> I RAN INTO THE KITCHEN AND
CHASED IT OUT WITH MY BROOM.
WE DO NOT LIKE THE RACCOON. WE
DO NOT WANT IT IN OUR HOUSE.
>> Reporter: ARIZONA GAME AND
FISH SAYS THEY'VE HAD MORE
CALLS ABOUT RACCOONS THIS
SUMMER THAN ANY IN RECENT
MEMORY.
MEMORY.
MEMORY. >> WHEN WE HEAR ABOUT RACCOONS,
WE OFTEN FIND IT IS NOT SO MUCH
AS A RECTAL ISSUE, IT IS PEOPLE
FEEDING FERAL CATS ISSUE.
>> Reporter: WHICH WOULD DISK
FIVE EXPLAINED WHY THE RACCOONS
LOVE ANN'S HOUSE SO MUCH.
>> IT IS LIKE A WRECK ON
HIGHWAY FOR THEM.
>> Reporter: AND THE AREA
AROUND DEER VALLEY AIRPORT
SEEMS TO BE THEIR DESTINATION.
>> A PRIVATE COMPANY WAS HIRED
TO REMOVE FOUR RACCOONS FROM
THIS AREA A FEW WEEKS AGO.
>> WOW, FOUR?
>> THIS THING IS STILL AROUND.
IT MUST LIKE YOU.
>> IT MUST BE GOOD AT EVADING
THE AUTHORITIES.
THE AUTHORITIES. >> Reporter: YES, GAME AND FISH
SAYS THERE ARE SUCH THINGS AS
DESERT RACCOONS.
DESERT RACCOONS. THEY LIVE DOWN HERE.
MOST PEOPLE NEVER SEE THEM.
FEEDING STRAY CATS MAKES THEM
COME CLOSER, WHICH CAN BE
DANGEROUS FOR YOU AND YOUR
PETS.
PETS.
PETS. >>
PETS. >> WE ARE FREAKED OUT, WE ARE
NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT BEING HERE,
OF COURSE.
OF COURSE. IT IS CUTE, BUT WE--OUR NUMBER
ONE PRIORITY IS OUR CAT.
>> Reporter: JUST AS WE WERE
FINISHING THIS STORY, THAT
HAPPENED.
HAPPENED.
HAPPENED. THAT IS NOT A CAT.
THAT IS THE RACCOON.
HE IS BACK.
OKAY, THE RACCOON HAS NOT COME
BACK WHILE WE WERE WATCHING
THAT STORY.
THAT STORY. GAME AND FISH SAYS IF YOU HAVE
NEIGHBORS WHO ARE FEEDING STRAY
DOGS OR CATS, TELL THEM NOT TO
DO IT BECAUSE IT IS ATTRACTING
WILD ANIMALS. IF THEY CONTINUE
TO DO IT ANYWAY, GAME AND FISH
SAYS IT IS ACTUALLY A CRIME.
AS FOR THE BROME TRICK, THOUGH.
GAME FISH SAYS IT IS PROBABLY
NOT THE BEST IDEA.
USUALLY JUST MAKE A LOT OF
NOISE AND THEY WILL LEAVE.
THE ONLY PROBLEM IS GUYS, THAT
IS EXACTLY WHAT WE DID, IT
LOOKS LIKE IT DID NOT KNOW WHAT
WE WERE DOING.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> WILLIAM, THIS IS SO CRAZY.
HERE IS MY CONCERN, HER THREE
CATS!
CATS!
CATS! ARE
CATS! ARE THEY IN DANGER?
WHAT IF THIS RACCOON GOES AFTER
THE CATS YOU MARK HOW ARE THEY?
>> Reporter: WELL, THANKFULLY
THEY ARE INDOOR AND OUTDOOR
CATS.
CATS.
CATS. THEY CAN LEAVE AND GO OUTSIDE,
WHATEVER THEY WANT TO.
FOR THE MOST PART, THEY HAVE
NOT BEEN INJURED, ATTACKED OR
ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
THAT IS ALWAYS A CONCERN WHEN
TALKING ABOUT WILD ANIMALS.
THESE THINGS EAT PRETTY MUCH
ANYTHING.
ANYTHING.
ANYTHING. THEY WILL EAT MEAT, PLANTS,
CATS, WHATEVER.
CATS, WHATEVER. THEY DON'T REALLY CARE.
YOU REALLY DON'T WANT THEM
AROUND YOUR HOUSE PETS.
ANYWAY YOU CAN GET RID OF THEM,
DO THAT.
DO THAT.
DO THAT. SHE IS DEFINITELY TRYING TO
FIGURE OUT A WAY TO GET THIS
CAT DOOR TO KIND OF CLOSE IT
SELF UP AND SEE IF JUST THE
CATS CAN COME THROUGH.
>> OH MY GOODNESS.
>> OKAY, THAT IS WILLIAM PITTS,
LIVE WITH A RACCOON.
HE WAS THERE EARLY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, WILLIAM.
WE APPRECIATE THAT POINT
