This one was cute and seemed friendly enough. Didn't hiss or get excited when I was yelling and waving my arms at him. Just kind of sat there looking at me like I was mental before he shrugged and scurried down the steps.

I went on my back porch a couple of months ago and found one climbing my screen door which freaked me out especially since at first I thought it was my cat.

I yelled so loudly he jumped about three feet straight back off the door, was at a dead run when his feet touched the ground and moved faster than any possum I've ever seen.

At our old house, we had a screened in porch that we eventually enclosed. I used to keep dog food out there (yeah - I know - not a real smart thing to do - but hindsight is always crystal clear). Anyway, one day I saw what I thought was my cat eating the food. When I went to pick it up, I saw that horrible face. I almost stopped breathing.

Gidget looks like a possum when I don't have my glasses on. That would have given me a heart attack.

DidWhat is much smarter by keeping you out there.

The cat we had at the time looked like a possum from behind even with glasses on. After I got over the panic, I was grateful I didn't get bitten.
