I had a coworker who owned two skunks, and they were some of the most personable and affectionate animals ever. One would sit on her lap and hang out with the other receptionists at the front desk all day. She told me that they like to keep themselves very clean, and they're very much like overgrown ferrets to an extent. I'd flip it on it's back and pet it's belly and it would lick my hand.

I don't know much about keeping raccoons as pets, but I would imagine being that they are very intellegent, that would mean you would constantly have to keep the animal's mind stimulated to mimick foraging and such.
