I remember you talking about your opossum....... Until I got a dog, I
always had at least one come in the cat door at night for years (two
different houses). The cats ignored him/her, "I don't see that giant
mouse...". They have very soft fur, btw, and don't seem to mind being
petted
after awhile......


I did some reading about them and they are smarter than dogs and are
more in line with the intelligence of pigs, which is rather
intelligent. I miss our little guy.

My wife's hairstylist here in Austin has a pet (it's about 9 months old now)
baby opossum. She (the stylist) found it floating belly up in their
backyard koi pond last May -- she said it was so small that it fit in the
palm of her hand. She revived it and long story short, it's now a family
pet...along with three cats and two (big) dogs. The 'possum plays with both
the cats and dogs, sleeps in the bed and loves people. And yes, she got the
proper care instructions from local wildlife people, all the OK's from the
authorities, etc.
