Ferals Have Friend Visit for Dinner...

Even though Oppy Jr. is larger now (pics are a few months old) my ferals aren't threatened one bit by this baby opossum. To my surprise, I took this picture while they all ate their dinner side-by-side. I have seen them do this quite a lot...interesting. Personally, I think oppy jr. is very cute.

He he...cute...but don't try petting the little guy!! Ouch!!

maybe they think he is another cat.

Yeah: "Ummm, mom we didn't want to say anything in front of him.... but is a really odd looking cat!"

Wow... my cats don't like any other kind of animals. They really hate armadillos but I haven't seen them around opposums yet.

Wow, very interesting and fascinating!

i want to keep one!

Fred loves everything, and he had an opossum fior a friend when we lived in the country. They would hang out on a tree branch together. It was the oddest looking thing.

My kitties are very tolerant of visitors, we only get the occasional possum, but lots of racoons come by to finish up any dry food left out on the patio.

One of my sister's cats often shared his with the local skunks.

wow, thats awesome. Great pic

We do have a visiting racoon whom I am not too found of. I find it very interesting that this colony of 7 have a completely different reaction from our visiting opossum to our visiting racoon. They fear & dislike the racoon.

As much as the 3 males from the colony scream at one and other and occasionally getting physical...one night, I watched as the 3 males formed an alliance against the racoon. They definitely did not want him eating their food or to be close to their shelter. It's like Animal Planet in my backyard

I've seen my ferals checking out the resident groundhog...i think they actually booted him out of his home and they are now using it!

Awwww, he's so cute! How cool that the cats don't mind him, I'm really surprised!
