Lose a cat?

If its blind,missing a leg, has no tail and answers to the name of "Lucky" then its mine.

Good eating, a mite greasy, but tastey

That's funny - I know Hillbillies who wouldn't know the difference, too ...... and for the record - 'possums can be VERY friendly if you feed 'em good and scratch their little heads .....

Yep, a good hair slick um,

but it goes rancid in the heat of the noon day sun.

(I vaguely remember sunshine.)

The opossum DOES have the reputation for being the flat animal beside the road ....

They bumble around on my porch at night stealing dog food, My little one eyed bulldog gets pretty rude with them over that.

Hahaha! "Bumbling around" is a good description of how they move about! They sure don't get in a hurry - and because of that, they are pretty easy to catch. Usually, once you have 'em in hand, they relax and "play 'possum" ...... I had one scare the sh!t out of me in my garage in WV - actually, we scared the sh!t out of each other. He came out from under the bike I was going to ride as I walked up to it .... we both went "EEK!" at the same time! Hahaha! He played dead, though, so I put him back up in the tree in the front yard. I think he took that to mean I was going to take him to raise, as EVERY time I'd go out out on the deck to sit and have a beer or ten, he'd be there begging .... Hahaha! He liked to sit on me and eat grapes .... Go figger ...

Oh yeah they can be funny, when my dog hit's this one it plays dead, then the dog will piss on it and leave. After that he goes back to steal more dog food.

GreenMachine · **Reply #12 on:** February 11, 2011, 04:10:29 pm

I always wonder how those critters behaved around people....so much for "nice kitty"....

Don´t tell your kids (or grandkids) - Heidi is now the most beloved animal on the planet (for anybody under the age of 12). So possums are short before getting sacrosanct.

They probably came to the "New World" from Europe. They are adaptive little fellows ....

I have 2 boys and 2 girls. The boys could handle it, the girls I will never tell. They cry if I get too many bugs on the windshield
