Yeah. Wolf!Javi doesn't think about things like cooties...or rabies for that matter.

Human!Javi just knows that, if it actually was a cat, Castle would never let him live it down...

Not that there's much hope of that in this case, either, but better some random forest animal than something that might have been a neighbor's pet.

(plus, I doubt it would occur to any of our three city boys, but some people do eat raccoon)
