I kid you not, one day I had a fully grown massive ground hog clamber up the stairs to the deck and start noshing down with the cats. It was a sight. The cats just stood there and stared at him for a minute then went back to eating too. Seems like my deck was “the neutral zone”
Where I used to live I had taken over care of a feral cat population after the lady doing it had passed away. It was not at all unusual to see cats, raccoons, and possums all eating from the trays on my deck together.
