Rose-Owls and Pumpkin Girls

Maine Coons might have qualified as cryptids once— people thought that the long striped tails were the result of crossbreeding between raccoons and domestic moggies. Though the striping on a raccoon’s tail is much more bold and defined. (Sadly, I didn’t have a camera handy the night that Yeti pawed at the glass on the back door, I turned on the light, and there was a raccoon right there for contrast...)
