I wake up to #PicaTheCat hissing and spitting at the door to our porch. We are 8 floors up and there is a raccoon looking in at Pica and she's MAD.

The raccoon didn't see me on the couch. But it wasn't that scared of Pica through the glass. It seemed curious about what might be in the apartment.

I stood up, and the raccoon ran, Pica was delighted and is still strutting around.

She's a good guard cat.
