We had two that were taking over the cat house (we had a cat that was dropped off and would not aclimate to being indoors.) The possims were trading the cat's food inexchange for letting the poor thing live, we think... When we found out what was going on, my hubby went to dispatch them. They ran at my daughter, who was holding the light for hubby. Hubby turned into Rambo! (Not that he isn't fearless anyway, but this was up a level!)
