Of course, at that point, I'll have to move outside due to the smell, so I'll have to worry about the predators eating me

[Love my Critters!]

My grandparents live in SE Houston, far far away from "the country" and one night I went outside to get something from the car. I heard some leaves moving and it scared me to death. I look up and saw a possum in the tree. I was almost in downtown Houston and I couldn't believe it. I took a picture because I didn't think anyone would believe me.

You call Decatur a CITY?

I lived 2 blocks from Wrigley Field for 30 years and in my backyard had:
-A HUGE opposum that used to "greet" DH & me as we walked up our stairs by hissing at us from the 2nd floor deck.

-A Raccoon family that spooked my outside-going cat by marching singlefile across the teeny Chicago yard (our entire lot was the standard 25'X125') and was probably responsible for the bite he got that abcessed

-Coyote sighted on the local golfcourse (Waveland) - less than a mile from the house

-Peregrine Falcons - these were brought in to control the pigeon population downtown and roosted in highrise buildings.
I'll always remember the meeting I was in when one of them flew smack into the plateglass window in pursuit of a pigeon.
