this is an example of two animals with very different social styles. it doesn’t look like the raccoon is being aggressive, just handsy – i will be the first to admit that i don’t know much about raccoon behavior, but it doesn’t seem like it’s trying to hurt the kitten in any way. however, when it nibbles the kitten’s ear, the kitten immediately protests with a meow. this isn’t how cats play with each other, since they don’t have little grabby hands, and the kitten isn’t loving it.
