Bring Raccoons to Minecraft!

Raccoons. Who doesn't love them? Here's my suggestion...

They will spawn near/around villages at night. They could have multiple variants dependent on the biome they spawn in, keeping the warm/cold/temperate mobs, (blonde, albino, red, black, pale brown, gray coats).

You can feed them pufferfish, tropical fish, poisonous potatoes, spider eyes, rotten flesh, and other raw meats to tame/breed them. I personally can never get rid of my rotten flesh, and I would love to be able to give the food a purpose, (and a great purpose at that!)

If you hit an untamed raccoon, it can attack you and inflict the nausea effect for (insert how many) seconds. 

It would be cool if the mob had a purpose other than just being a tamed animal as well, but I wouldn't mind just being able to have an army of raccoons following me.
