In the wee hours they would come in through the cat door and eat cat food and go through the trash if they could get in it.

They were friendly and nosed each other. It took me a while to catch on to what was going on. Cat door privileges were revoked.

I think the skunk was immature at that time and after a month or so I never saw it again and never named it.
