Thanks everyone.
Indeed porch kitty would probably make someone a good pet, but not me. (She will not let me pick her up though, which I've been told makes her likely unadoptable as a pet.) She will let me pet her, she continuously rubs up against my legs, and I've even once seen her making biscuits when I'm around, but she does not like to be petted on the head very much and will scratch/bite if I try to pet her there.
And yeah, these raccoons and possums are huge. Apparently it's a bigger problem now because it's breeding season, and the nursing moms are even coming out during the daytime to feed.
I think some of it is also that, lately, she's been turning her nose up at the food... I know that's what it is, because I'd also fed her kitten food during the snowstorm/extreme cold weather we'd had, and she will gobble that up, but not so much the regular food. It may be a brand thing, because I recently switched her to a different brand.
I will probably just resort to not feeding her at night or bringing the food inside ... I know she'll be annoyed at that, but it is what it is.
