Possums can hold branches and stuff but cannot 'hang' from their tails as adults (like in cartoons). Its kinda like a more fully prehensile rat tail, not made for the body wait of the animal but great for balance.
Last night the raccoon came to visit again, we can see the foot prints where it was on the lower side of the garden and made it up on the top rail of the picket fence and then down the same place as last night. We also saw a foot print on the side door of the coop.
Sunday night we will set up the live traps and see if we catch more than the neighborhood cats
