Possum!

Submitted by kylie on Fri, 05/21/2010 at 7:40am.

At about 8:30 at night, we saw a certain kind of tail through the window and it didn"t look like a cat tail because it was dragging on the fence. We went outside and looked around and right by Fella we saw a HUGE possum! It looked like an adult. Well, Fella just sat there and looked next to him and saw the possum, but all he did was sit there. This whole time Geoff was trying to find the camera. And then, the possum started walking away. My dad came out and grabbed the shovel. He ran over by the possum and smacked in the face with the shovel! The possum just fell of the wall in the neighbors yard!!!!! We ran as fast as we could inside and locked all the doors! Even the doggy door! And then, we went to bed

Don't whack the possum in the face.  He wasn't hurting anyone.

yah, what a gross animal.  But i didnt whack him in the face, Doobs.  I thought about trying to kill him with the shovel, but he was so big (probably 20% bigger than Fella).  I got real close to him, and moved the shovel towards him.  He sorta hissed and showed his teeth at me, so i just shoved him off the fence into the neighbors yard with the end of the shovel. 

 

It was weird that Fella just sat there, probably 1 foot between the two on top of the fence.  The opossum took a few steps closer to Fella, and Fella hissed, and the opossum backed up.  I think Fella quickly assessed the situation, and realized he couldn't take down this opponent unless he had his front claws.

 

He looked just like this one   Surprised

Its illegal to harm these animals. Seriously. Unless you run over one with your car!You should have sent him over to your neighbor who hates cats.

Except in Lebanon where the officers have contests with their police cars-a mother with babies on her gave someone the highest score one year.

Is it really illegal Brad?  What does that fall under?  Surprising.  I'm not mean to them, but they definitely are not the best looking creatures.  We had one in our backyard in FV.  Dad almost cut his tail off while trimming the bushes.  We got close and he started hissing too.  Creepy.

Speaking of possom's that get run over by a car - when I was driving around with my dad today, we saw two dead possoms.  One of them had it's mouth wide open, as if it was yelling for help or "watch out" It was sad and gross at the same time.  We got an oreo blizzard from Dairy Queen and saw the dead possoms again...then I was not very hungry anymore. 

Hey Geoff - my dad says you really like possoms and have a website called "Fathers who love and nuture possoms and other small animals"  is that true? Is this picture from your website - my dad says, this is how you collect small animals.  Are you like Brian Fellows from SNL?
