Tom,
Do a little more research and you may learn that
coons and skunks are better rodent control agents
than your cats will ever be.
Both are also serious insect predators, though
skunks tend to pursue bugs more ravenously
than raccoons.
On the whole the conflict probably exists that
your cats endanger the coon and skunk offspring
and they are watching out for their own territory.
Keep the cats indoors and let Nature take care
of itself.
That's my advice.
