I saw a video of a racoon trying to wash cotton candy once. "I got something good, just a little dip in the water- Where'd it go!?" It was cute and sad.

I used to put food and water out for the stray cats and raccoons where I used to live and I constantly had to change the water cause they would do that and get the water all muddy with their muddy paws
