And I don't live in a rural area, I live in Bangor, Maine. There are four or five of them who hang out under my house and come out during the evening to frolic with my cats. I'm used to there being maybe one but this is really weird. The house has been skunked once and it's still foul. So far the cats are all fine, probably because they're all buddies.
