I'd wind up using PyTorch to create a model to differentiate raccoons from cats since random cats also show up otherwise I could use a PIR sensor. I've got a bunch of those. I might have to throw some skunk images into the training set too. Zapping a skunk might not be the best idea. The kibble feeder depredations make enough noise to wake me up so I can go out and shoot his furry ass with a pellet gun. That's become more difficult.
