We found another ransom note in our backyard.
Sort of. Maybe I need to back up a bit.
Fast forward two years and we found another ugly raccoon statue, accompanied by a note and a lot of golf balls. This note read, “We want our balls back. You know what we’re talking about.”
There are some trends here. Ransom notes that definitely refer to cats and also talk about either golf ball, or, potentially, cat testicles if this is some ardent non-believer of fixing cats.
After each of the notes, queried friends and family. Honestly, we never looked past friends and family. No one claimed it.
And now we’ve got another note, this time accompanied by two ugly raccoon statues. This one reads, “Cats, rats, freedom. Let them go, I’ll be watching.”
Once again, this leaves me wondering whodunnit. No one is laying claim. But I have other questions. Where does someone find so many raccoon statues? And are they spending money for them? I hope not much! And the notes… they take time. Who cares enough to take this time?
Reactions when we show people range from laughter to people being creeped out. I’m pretty entertained, though a little troubled by our growing collection of ceramic raccoons…

Kate, that is so eerily funny. Maybe a passive aggressive activist group that has the wrong address for someone who does animal testing lol. Have you considered putting out some figurines of your own with a paste-it note. It’s a very interesting idea for a prank that messes with your head without being “hurtful”…
