I live in a small apartment building. There are 6 renters and we each have our own trash cans in the back of the building. Early this morning I carried out my little bag of garbage. I glanced in to the can before tossing in the bag and saw a sweet little ball of fur all curled up trying to stay warm in this 19 degree weather!!!.I knew it was a poor little kitten that needed help. But how angry would Bella be with me??? Should I take the chance and just hope Bella gets over it?? YES. I had found the little thing and now I was responsible for it's well-being. So as I reached down into the can to get the shivering little baby I think I made some cooing sound. The creature woke up and looked straight into my eyes. It was a baby all right. A baby opossum!! OMG. Well, my attitude about my responsibilities toward this helpless creature shifted alittle bit. I went back to my apartment and got a can of cat food and a little blanket for it. That's as far as I can go with it. I didn't bring Bella any surprises today. Later I thought, what it I hadn't made any noise when I reached it? No doubt I would have been bitten. And they are not attractive, really. But a baby is a baby. Now, it's dark out and the temperature is falling. I am sitting up here worried about that ugly baby.

This mat caught my eye because of its size and texture, which traps fine litter rather well. It's large enough for jumbo litterboxes, which is also a plus. It's not quite as easy to clean as a...

Awww, well at least you did SOMETHING for it hun. I think they're adorable personally.
I would be the same way though, sitting there worrying about it. I hope it's ok!

Baby possums aren't too likely to bite, they prefer to run or "play possum" The first reaction seems to be to let out the stinkiest poops in the animal world.
One found it's way into my kitchen cabinets years ago through a hole under the floor, and would eat out of my hand and let me pet her after a few weeks. As she grew older she was less receptive though, and my landlord boarfed up the hole one evening after we saw her leave.
