The raccoon is not aware that the door is for a “doggy” or that the food is for “cats” or how he differs from those species, in any case.
He, I, and cats & dogs all have whiskers.

A squirrel used to do this at my house. My cats would literally look the other way or even turn their backs to the squirrel. They wouldn’t look at him outside either. That squirrel must have had blackmail material on them.
Same squirrel also stole my daughter’s mostly-eaten ice cream cone that she set in the grass. He took it up in a tree to eat it. The audacity of these animals!

I used to have a doggy door in my last house. We never got raccoons, just occasionally my neighbor’s cat came to visit his half-brother at my house. He rarely acknowledged me, even though he came into my bedroom.

And that is why you should always get the ones with coves or slide in metal plates for at night.
When there is less human activity, the wildlife uses opportunities to come grab snacks.
Sometimes cats would go out at night and coyotes get them or sometimes raccoons come in to eat cat food.
These are the two most common problems with leaving a cat door unlocked/uncovered at night.
Now you will need to close the cats in an interior room at night until you get something for that cat door. (You can’t usually get those covers separately, so that’ll be difficult) And, even then, the raccoon might just figure out how to open it now that it has worked for him before and he has been rewarded for his efforts by finding cat food before. So yeah you’ll need to keep your cats away from the raccoon intruder at night either way now.

If not friend why friend shaped?
Universal snack door
A polite young man.
Oh, sorry, I thought this was Wegmans.
Is this the raccoon city I’ve always heard about?
Congratulations on the new cat!
Uh… meow?
From its expression, it’s still enacting the cat.
He’ll take an apple to go please
That’s a raccoon door. Form follows function.
Let’s hope more don’t come in with rabies
