Cat And Ghost Raccoon

[VirtLands]

Do you believe in ghost creatures?
I took this picture, shown here, using a special nighttime setting on my camera.

My cat watches as a ghost raccoon materializes just
briefly to steal some cat food, and then the raccoon fades away.

Ahh, you caught me, yes this was an animation that I created.
It wasn't easy to create, since it's not easy getting these animals to pose.

Have you ever had raccoons in your yard? These raccoons will try to
get into everything and they love to take all the cat food, and they'll eat
most any other kind of food too, they'll eat meat, burritos, cereal, bread, candy, chips, french fries, and so on, except they hate beans and I've never seen them eat vegetables.

Is that a picture, or an animation?

Very interesting picture... Did you take a bunch of pictures to make the animation, or did you just find this somewhere on the internet?

I can see the cat and the food bowl moving as the animation starts, but it seems like no food was taken as the "raccoon" left.
