I thought raccoons were nocturnal animals. Not good to see them in the daytime, that means they could be sick. The easiest transmission of rabies to cats is from raccoons. Please tell the found cats and porch cats to steer clear of the bandits!!
Gary, I would call someone to have them trapped and relocated. They should not be near your house!

I think that they are in my back yard so there are a lot of trees and foliage there.
I can rent humane traps from the SPCA and Wildlife Control but they are expensive, maybe I can borrow one from Animal Welfare.

Don't you have government agencies that oversee wildlife? If you do, contact them, they should be able to help, and you shouldn't have to put out your own money to have them trapped.
And I agree that seeing raccoons in the area in the daylight is not normal for these animals, and they could very well be sick and/or diseased.

Hi Gary, Recently there have been problems with racoons here in Trenton and this is an urban area. As soon as you can, notify a wildlife or animal organization for help. Some of the racoons here tested positive for rabies. These critters are known to be rabies carriers along with other diseases so please be careful and get help from those who know what to do. The last thing I want to hear is they hurt any of your cats or a human.

Or even me!!!
A Young Racoon got in last night and ran up the stairs where Miquelito
He growled at the Racoon, annd from the side nailed him with three lightning claw rips!!
That with me being there convinced the Racoon to run to the Ebony Beau Tubster Memorial Enclosure and flee the premises.
Yes Snoopy Your Miquelito is a hero you can be proud of.
I am closing off the enclosure until this is over.
When it starts to get dark. How are you going to call, Miquelito Racoon Buster!!!

Yes Gary - even you!!!
If you were to be scratched or bitten, you would have to undergo a series of rabies shots, and I hear that they are not at all pleasant!
For your own safety, and that of your cats, you really need to get rid of those critters, no matter what it takes.
