Do raccoons kill cats? But while dogs may attack a raccoon, a cat will generally pretend to ignore coons, and try to be 'co-incidentally' elsewhere while the beast is around. Since raccoons usually ignore or avoid cats, the two species often get along fine by not getting along together at all. This does not mean that conflict may not arise.

More recently, scientists gave the Aesop's Fable test to some raccoons. Researchers have adopted the well-known parable of a crow throwing stones into a pitcher to cause the water level to rise as a benchmark for animal intelligence. Raccoons were put in a space with a water cylinder, marshmallows floating on top, and stones strewn about it. They had to raise the water level first by dumping the stones before they could get to the sweet treats. Two of the eight raccoons imitated the action after being shown how to do it, but a third approached the issue differently and knocked the entire structure over.

For generations, raccoons have been stereotyped as the cunning thief or trickster character in literature because of the black marks that fall across their eyes. But in addition to giving them the appearance of cute outlaws, their well-known black masks also provide them the ability to see perfectly. Dark to the black stickers that athletes wear beneath their eyes, the black fur works by absorbing light that would otherwise bounce into the athlete's eyes and impair vision. Less peripheral light during the night, when raccoons are most active, makes it simpler for them to detect contrast in the objects of their focus, which is crucial for seeing in the dark.
