ok, i don't know racoons well... maybe a rug fetish is not uncommon among coons?
.
but i thought...

his claws got caught in the rug... at which point he got distressed and decided to go away from the rug which was messing with him... and he was just pulling away from it... but with a claw caught of course the rug went with... sound plausible?

the way it all plays out he's so "furtive" looking... and since he uses his other paw (i think still to try to free himself from rug) but it does make one think of stealing... it's funny to see it that way, but i think we're anthropomorphizing, no?

just an impression...

(having seen my cat, too many times, trying to "rip a screen off a window" .... cat in reality just trying - violently - to free caught claw....)
