The Raccoon in our back yard!

Raccoon at night - YouTube
(Note.. this picture isn't one I took of the raccoon...)
So Last night... I was standing by the back door... and our cat (Which was inside our house) came up next to me and started to look out side and was hissing at what I thought was me! So I looked down and petted her a few times and then got back to what I was doing.. I thought she wanted outside.. but when I looked at what she was hissing at... I saw only her reflection.. (at first) and it looked like she was hissing at herself.. and started laughing to myself.. until I looked closer.. and raccoons aren't common in coming in our neighborhood..This was probably the first time I saw one face to face and a real one! So I looked closer... and there in the darkness I saw two little cute beady eyes looking at me.. and then I saw a bandit face with a big black nose and noticed... its tail. I already could tell by it's bandit face that is was a raccoon and then it struck me that our cat was trying to warn me about the raccoon! And I was so close to opening to door to let her out.. cause that what I thought she wanted! I banged on our glass door and yelled "RACCOON!!" and my sisters and mother came running over and I quickly turned the porch light on to see on the back patio the raccoon slowly and carefully walk away into the darkness. My whole family saw that raccoon and boy did it have enough nerve to come to our door and look in!! There wasn't exactly any cat food sitting out... but my dad came out and grabbed his BB gun.. Course that wouldn't do anything! We didn't have anything else but the BB gun and last night he managed to scare it away... my sister went out to check on her chickens and says she saw it running away on its front paws!! But... we are expecting it to come back tonight!  And then this morning I went out to check if any chickens were killed or gone and to make sure he didn't get into our shed.... everyone was okay and safe from the raccoon. The night before the raccoon came, the shed door was closed, and then there was an extra part where there is wall and a few doors to the side holding our shovels and everything. Separate from the feed area... and the night before... in the shovel place... that door was closed.. and when I came to that spot... it was wide open! I suspect that the racoon tried to get into our shed that way... but there is a wall and then on the other side of that wall is our feed and stuff... so the raccoon.. that smart lil dude tried his best.. but failed horribly! But that's not it! We're planning on trapping it and killing it! We don't want a raccoon infestation in our place! NO NO NO! 
That was all :) for now :0
