Opossums can get pretty big the adults.

Hmm I was thinking maybe a cat @Tooshay89

How awesome is that.
That was pretty cute when he told the cops they couldn't come in.

I loved it too!

I say opossum.

Also...

What is this? Any ideas? I was running through the cameras a little bit ago and saw this dude skulking around behind the coop (aka The Gettin' Killed Spot.) He 100% can't get in, but I can't figure out what it is. Too big to be a possum? Doesn't look like it has a tail but I can't really tell for sure. Maybe a raccoon?

Kinda looks more like a opossum to me

It does. And I've seen some huge opossum too. But you'd still think you'd see a tail.
Maybe a tail less opossum. Lol

It looks like there is a tail to me, just curled in front of the body. This is the 3rd image, tail in green, pointy end being the tip.

I was thinking opossum too, but I looked up pictures and thought it looked too big. I've never seen one in person, though, so maybe. For a second I thought it was one of our barn cats, but it came from the woods. My husband and son went out to see what it was - it ran and definitely was not our cat. We have big gopher turtle holes that I think random animals live in, so it would be anything, really.

A large opossum might be a little shorter than your young cats I met, but have much more girth. They will generally run as they are not that confrontational. I wouldn't corner one though as if it does get defensive it can be pretty nasty. Generally though they want to get away from you. I hear they love chicken though.

The strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack.

I found this today. At the widest point it's about 4.5".
