Generally no. Healthy raccoons will not attack humans. However, they may be curious and approach you. If startled, they may bite or scratch in self-defense.
As the raccoon’s rabies infection progresses, the raccoon will start making strange noises. These sounds can include screeching, high-pitched beeps, and rattling. The raccoon can also make hissing noises and will become aggressive and defensive even when unprovoked.
High-pitched squeaks often indicate rats or mice, and sharper “circles” may indicate an infestation. Raccoons are known to produce squeaking, cackling, and growling noises, especially when they have cubs (babies). After all, bats chirp at night or in the morning before sunrise.
Do raccoons eat cats? While this has been the subject of some pretty serious controversy, raccoons can actually eat cats, small dogs, and other small animals. Kittens are in mortal danger when a raccoon is near them. The wild creature will surely try to attack and eat the kittens.

Signs that animals are in your walls
Mice and rats are nocturnal, so you will most likely hear the scratching in the walls once the sun has gone down and the house has calmed down< . Squirrels, on the other hand, are diurnal, meaning they are awake and active during the day.
If the raccoon is persistently aggressive, then it’s best to back off and call animal control. Don’t try to kill or harm the raccoon. If the raccoon is aggressive, just try to push it away from you or your property. The raccoon will eventually disappear in almost all cases.
