I saw a possum sharing food with my cat Scrapper!!!!!

[gmendoza]

The nerve of Scrapper (our outdoor farm-cat help) bringing his hunting buddy-possum home to free feed.

I was looking out into the yard this morning and looking into the girls clubhouse.DW put Scrappers food in there for rain shelter.Anyways,I saw a grey body and white face eating his food.Well I got my pelet gun out,but missed him as he left the clubhouse.Then I saw something that irked me.Scrapper comming out of the clubhouse too. I cant believe that Jerk Scrapper. Hes getting his hunting buddies free food.I can hear them now:

Scrapper - Hey Possum dude,come over my place for some free grub.Belly up to the bar.

Possum - ok scrappy,...by the way, my name is pete.

I hear adult possums and adult ferel cats tolerate each other,but never seen it. Now I have seen it.

Same here though, except that they share it with feral cats in the neighborhood.

Yup, I've finally named the possums.

I had one that came up on my porch to eat cat food I left out for a stray cat. That possum would also come look in the windows of our house. He was very curious. I kind of took a liking to him actually. I was sad when he died, because I'd gotten used to him hanging around.
