not sure if it is normal or not but be careful with the racoon it may or may not have rabies. Check your cats next time you get near them that they haven't been bit or any other injuries that might transmit rabies. JMO

The racoon probably shared some food with the cats which are the whores of the animal world

no the vet is coming out monday to give them their shots and deworm them but im not sure i should keep them now that they are all buddy buddy with a racoon im kinda consurned my orange cat has been acting really mean and he can just be sitting their and hes hissing and growling at nothing and the other cats dont want him around but i cant bring my self to get rid of them
You should at the very least quarintine that cat until the vet comes out. He has signs of rabies.."hissing and growling at nothing and the other cats dont want him " He can infect all your other cats quickly. Also a rabid animal is a threat to you even if you love it, its not itself and will hurt you. Just take the precaution at put it by itself.

has the cats EVER been vaccinated for rabies?
If they have and you ran past the appointment date by a few months, chances are they are still protected and no reason for total alarm.
Good advice to quarantine and suspected animals, though.
Racoons and cats can get along as long as there is no interruptions or ill behaving.
The coon just wants to eat and go.
However, I don't think a racoon is a welcomed pet in the barn. Ask Paso. She said there is something that their feces transmit to horses or somethin' like that.
Good Luck.

Is your cat being TESTED for rabies or having his rabies vaccination TITER level checked?
The Merck Veterinary Manual has good info on rabies- transmission, prevention etc.
Good luck
