Ya, the youtube videos clearly show any of the animals in the title can be aggressive and end up in a fight.
The internet said Raccoons carry feline distemper and of course rabies.
Opossums can't carry rabies.
One of my Male Cats got bit on the neck and was missing for like 5 days. When he came back he was not eating well.
He had some of the symptoms of distemper but while the neck wound healed (even after a visit to the vets and IV fluids) the Cat died about 4 days later.
He could have been bit by another Cat or a Raccoon and contracted distemper from either.
