The raccoon pulled both cats through the window. Don't know if it ate Bali
or what. We never found the body.

Absolutely bizarre. Never heard of anything like it.

Probably just her imagination. Her cats most likely jumped out of the
window and the lost one got hit by a car somewhere. Raccoons aren't
going to pull some fighting cat out of a window. Give me a break.

Yep, the whole story is just wrong. No cat is going to go "gently into
that good night" at the hands of a raccoon. Cats are going to scream
and fight, even if they're declawed.

I guess she was too busy worrying about what her family will and won't
eat so the raccoon got both cats without her hearing the yowls. Good grief.

Jazzy did growl. It was her growling that made me turn and look but by then
she was out the window. It all happened so fast. I never heard Bali growl.
Even though she was 2, she still had a tiny, kitten-like voice. Our new
cat, Jetta has a much louder/deeper voice at 5 months than Bali ever did.
Bali was terrified. I never saw her run so fast, ever. So terrified that
there was no way we could catch her. Jazzy just hid.

There were no yowls.

Not my imagination. The screen was destroyed and not in an area where the
cats would have done it. Same raccoon frightened away the workers next
door. It was really a horrible animal.
