Forums General Chit-Chat Opossum and Raccoons

Donator — She/Her Posted 6 years ago ( 2018/07/19 05:58:15 )
So we had a big opossum in our yard month ago tonight I saw this opossum not so big anymore, she had a cute little baby opossum with her.

We also have had a big raccon in our yardbut the racoon isn't big anymore she had about four babies with her and her other half along the last time I saw the raccoon family.

I always make sure my male cat is inside the house, we have had a fox near our yard. But opossum's and raccoon's they don't get along with one another, and they don't like cats. There both afraid of cat's for some reason not too sure on why.

I haven't seen the deer in sometime now. It is probably eating the grass and berries, twigs, ect.

Please don't post anything cruel about these animals, I love animals and all sorts of other things really. And I know that everyone has their own oppinion. But please don't.

I FRIGGING LOVE POSSUMS AND RACCOONS
they're so cute, I used to want a raccoon as a pet until I got older and realized they were legit wild animals and don't really belong in households, and for possums I just want people to stop thinking they're gross and think of them as cute animals they should leave to their own business ^^~

and dang you have a LOT of wild small critters around your house! o: I can't tell if you're lucky or not
are they fairly destructive to your neighborhood? and it's good that you're considerate of them instead of just chasing them off <3

@Deaa: there not destructive, I take food out for all of them to eat.
I share with them, when no one else will eat what we have to eat.

I am nice to all of the wild life, possums are good they eat ticks, and they don't get sick
from whatever the tick carries. which is good, because the ticks are very bad this year sadly.
seeing the baby possum last night I wanted to hold it. it looked like a baby weasel. lots of babies

Kitties attack opossums and racoons actually, so that's probably why they don't like cats.

However there's a story my uncle told me (so I take it with a grain of salt), that he woke up one morning to see a possum snuggling with our cats to keep warm.

@unicorn: oh that's great! so they just hang around them and eat trash and bugs?
that doesn't sound like a bad addition to a neighborhood at all!

@Another Movie Addict: I doubt a possum would snuggle anything unless it was a rescue.

But this is why I make sure my cat is inside, before it gets dark outside.

@Deaa: they don't eat any trash unless they can't find any of what I put out for them, they love pizza, hotdogs, bread, popcorn.

@nyreen: it is fun feeding the raccoons so that is very cool, alone with the squirrels. I've never been able to feed a chipmunk.
