in particular I dont want to cause danger to my neighbors cats or kids, and I have coons and possums and squirrels and all kinds of things like that which wander my yard at night. I had a family of coons living in a large oak tree hollow and they just couldn't figure out why I wasn't friendlier. They wanted to visit with me and would surprise me by sneaking up on me and getting under my lawn chair. They had zero fear of me. I'd had for their little paws to be grabbing electrodes and pulling on wires and so forth, because they are curious by nature.
