Do u think the Opossums are afraid of other animals, specifically if Joey went after them would they hurt him?? Also I thought they were nocturnal?
Maybe they are short on food or their 'home' has been disturbedOriginally Posted by Bella713
That says they are nocturnal so why are they in my yard at 10:00 a.m.
Okay I just don't want something rabid in my yard because Joey goes in my yardOriginally Posted by furryferals

I do think opossums are cute, and I don't have a problem with them normally. But when they are used to living around humans they do get aggressive. In the wild, it's probably different. But, they will attack cats and dogs to get to their food. I've seen it. They won't attack for the sake of attacking, but if they want something they will do anything to get it. And the opossums around here are bigger than cats.Originally Posted by furryferals
No they are NOT nasty, neither dangerous

Americans should feel priviledged to have a marsupial living in their countryside
Okay in these pics they may appear little, but no lie they are bigger than Sophia for sure...they are at least 9-10 poundsOriginally Posted by calico2222

We believe it was a possum that killed our Chavela back in Austin 20 years ago. Please don't let your kitty anywhere near a possum!
