Thanks to you and all others for the ideas.  It shows that those that appreciate nature also appreciate its animals.

I am late responding, but wanted to make a suggestion to the person
having problems with skunks and raccoons in the cat house. Have you
thought of not leaving food out 24/7? Dry cat food (kibble) is just
about the worst thing you can feed a cat anyway - better is canned cat
food - better yet is a raw diet. In any case if you feed the cats twice
a day, and take up the food when they're all done eating (or only put
out what they will finish off), you should eliminate the varmints'
reason for raiding the cat house in the first place.

It's less convenient, of course, but also better for the cats. If you
switch them to a carnivore appropriate diet (not always an easy task!),
you will save yourself the inconvenience of most, if not all, vet visits
and health problems in your cats. Your vet is not likely to agree.
