| "Hey, don't sneak up on me!" |
This morning our little young possum came by for breakfast. One of the half-grown kittens came by and sniffed him. This shot was taken after the possum hissed at him... basically telling him to 'shove off!' Then he resumed eating.
Some people think possums are ugly. I tend to think that they are rather cute. Ours are especially handsome (as are the raccoons) as they are fed well and have thick shiny coats. And the wildlife all seem to get along fairly well. They give each other a wide berth at times... laying together at other times. Occasionally there will be a hissing fight, but that's about it.

I would love to sit and watch these cute creature play and feed so close to humans.xx
I think my cats would have a stroke if they ever saw a raccoon or a possum. Wait, wait, I did have a raccoon on the fence, some years back now, but that's the only time. I think they waddle around the side of my unit and belly up to the buffet, i.e. the cat food I leave out. Might be too fat now to get onto the fence. I can only hope. LOL.
I just discovered last week that there is a possum coming around during the night. I often throw food into the wooded lot outside my bedroom window. Whenever I get up during the night, I always look to see who's visiting. I was delighted to see the possum. There's also a stray cat and raccoons the visit. I'm amazed that possums can survive in Minnesota!
Have enjoyed reading about your purrbabies. We have been adopted by a few ourselves. Right now a semi-feral mama and her 4 babies are eating up OUR food money.

Been there, done that. No, still there...
