If you want to live, know how to spin: a blind raccoon hired two bodyguards and paid for services with food

A few years ago, an unusual guest began to come to Erin Morris from Illinois in the morning — a raccoon, moreover, completely blind. He quickly became addicted to treats and soon appeared two or three times a day. In principle, nothing unusual. Stories about how people help forest animals, a wagon and a small cart. But this one got an interesting sequel when one day a raccoon arrived accompanied by two bodyguards.

The animal was timid (we say "was" because it was gone a year ago). Because of his blindness, he was afraid of birds, snow, tall grass. In addition, the raccoon somehow lost its lower lip. Therefore, Erin had to cut the food for the guest into small pieces so that he could swallow them normally.

Erin had been feeding the forest dweller for four years when he suddenly had escorts. One day he arrived at the house in the company of two black street kittens. The American managed to shoot this funny trio on video:

From that day on, the raccoon never appeared alone. Erin concluded that a mutually beneficial cooperation had been established between the animals. The raccoon knew where food could always be found, and the kittens instead accompanied him and protected him from adversity. The raccoon could not do without outside help — age was taking its toll.

Last winter, the cats came without their patron for the first time. He lived at least six years—a long time for a blind raccoon. And Erin decided to take the cats home from the street.
