The other day we got very excited when a raccoon was caught sleeping on the windowsill of the Imgur office!
this "cat" was sleeping at our window
After spending a few hours contemplating it’s adorable fuzzy mound we decided we should research matters further to try and figure out what makes the raccoon so very cute.
Raccoons have been appearing on the Front Page more and more in recent months, of course, you may know them by their street name of ‘trash panda’ or ‘not a cat’. This is something we will delve into greater detail later.

Despite definitely not being a cat they do share some similar characteristics. They are mischievous…

Raccoons also have two of their very own memes; Lame Pun and Evil Plotting Raccoon.
I sometimes get packages delivered to me at work if it's important or valuable. A couple of weeks ago, I saw a package with my name on it on my manager's desk, torn open. There were a lot of 'what the fuck is this' questions from me, but he said it was left on his desk to deliver to me and he assumed it was his.Then, last week, he handed me a second package, also torn open, and said that the company reserved the right to inspect packages and sent me a link to the HR page on it, where it says that the mailroom or security have the right, not him.So I ordered a third package: this time a glitter bomb. Let's see if he opens it.EDIT: OP Delivers! <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://imgur.com/gallery/yDo6O">http://imgur.com/gallery/yDo6O</a>
Then there is this different kind of raccoon from ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’.

God bless this little guy, but the original just didn't have a satisfactory ending.So instead of doing social good by working on my non-profit, I spent some time goofing off making this. Even though this likely dies in usersub, I feel much better now.
There’s plenty to learn about them.
Trash pandas!
But where did this name ‘trash panda’ come from? Urban Dictionary added it on 26th July 2015 and the first mention of it on Imgur came from garbag3mancan and their post below.

Here’s to our favorite little not-cat! Long may they appear on Imgur.
