The only close interaction I've ever had with a raccoon was when one perched on a fence post and was hissing and swiping at my dog, who was going apeshit. So yeah I can see how someone might confuse them for weird cats.

Probably fake story but it’s more likely to domesticate an opossum over a raccoon. Maybe story over the decades changed the animal because human story telling results in many fabrications and hallucination of details.
Adult raccoons are vicious and territorial cunts. Well at least the one I encountered anyways
Apparently it isn't that difficult to semi domesticate racoons if you feed them. Like they won't cuddle on your lap or anything but they also won't attack you and might tolerate a boop or scritch.
This is probably a video of Petr and grandma.
