| So here's the dumb thing I did: Got sick (ha) of Kiki puking all over my furniture after she eats. Nothing is wrong with her, vet said - she just scarfs and barfs. Not every day but several times a week. Anyway, I got the bright idea to put the cats' food and water outside on the deck. They can eat out there, Kiki can puke whenever she feels like it, come in when she's done. Tonight I get home from school and go to let the kitties in, and sitting on my deck with a cat laying on either side of him was a possum. A cute possum, but I hate them all the same. Clearly this wasn't bothering any of the animals involved. So I opened the door and called the kitties in, preparing to shut it real quick if they decided to bring their new friend. Kiki came in but Gidget ignored me and sat outside with her pal for awhile before I finally yelled at him and made him go away. So that kind of freaks me out - I've never seen critters around here except crazy bunnies. I'm not even sure where a possum would live around here besides apparently on my deck.  |

| I caught one in a trap in the bushes in front of my house a couple months ago. Ugly damn things. |

| Possums around here are a nightly occurrence. Along with deer, foxes, frogs, etc.  ArkRescue likes this.

| I have a fondness for possums having raised on from a three inch baby to full grown back when I was a teen... Don't tell Kaitlin...  Give him a kiss for me!  Katelin likes this. |
