grrrrr Some people REALLY SUCK. Love possums. We feed ours scraps. And they’re very polite. Skunks were pretty polite, too- very punctual at dinner time. But we had to give that up because of the rabies risk.
Now, raccoons, I REALLY don’t like. They are destructive & aggressive. I wouldn’t shoot one, though, unless I thought it was rabid.
Did y’all know possums can’t carry rabies? Their body temp is too low.
So you are a possum lover, eh? Fed them? You must have been lived in my neighborhood. I suppose I should thank you for all the batting practice I got at 2 AM.
Skunks are very cute and not at all aggressive. Possums seem to be shy. We’ve only seen one once since we moved here in 2002. :)
So Hillary can’t carry rabies either? :-)
Didn’t know that about Possums.
And I too had a skunk hang around. It use to sit around my out door table with the cat waiting for her food. Never sprayed anything thank goodness.
Possums were a rather benign presence. We were just never able to catch the stray cats because they always managed to get in the traps first.
