It's a weird raccoon, but when did people first notice him and where did they start posting about him?

Boy, am I really out of the loop. I didn't even know Jimothy existed but since you shared the link, I am blessed to know now.

Jimothy (born c. 2025) is a wild raccoon living in Seattle, Washington, United States. His unusual short, rounded shape, likely the result of a spinal deformity, led to him becoming a viral internet sensation in July 2026.

He has his own Roku screensaver according to the Wikipedia article.
