Remember that possum? The one that blared the garage weather radio at 3 am and got into a bag of apples on my deck?
Yeah, I forgot about it too. I mean, if you don’t see something, it has to be gone, right?
Last night, I walked into the garage, shrieked, then slammed the door.
Apparently, it’s back.
Unless…
Maybe my cat is wearing a disguise???

What a very cheeky fella!. We had a possum in a palm tree, but I only saw him once. probably because we don’t have any pet food in the garage. :)

Lucky you! Ha! Well, he’s gone now. Moved on, I guess. :) He was sort of cute, in his own way. Kind of like your lizards!

Yes to both. :) It’s like a mystery game to open the inside house door to the garage!

Yikes! That’s scary! You actually got a chance to take a photograph?? I can’t believe the cheek and bravado of it – continuing to eat quite unbothered, probably wondering why you’re disturbing it in its ‘natural’ habitat. How’s it getting in? Do you know? Is there any anti-possum device you can buy? Keep us updated, Jessica.

The garage door was up, I’d just been to town and the cat food bowl in the garage was full. We’re keeping the door down now and brought cat food inside. :) The idea is to eliminate food source and it moves on. Fingers double crossed!

Perhaps… The night before we left for vacation, the same sort of incident occurred. I opened the garage door, shrieked, and high tailed it back in. I opened the door and it just sat there, looking at me. That “oh, it’s you” thing. Then, it actually gave itself a lil face wash. Like a bath.
I saw a picture on Facebook of someone carrying a possum in a dress. No joke. When I showed it to my husband, we both laughed so hard. Then unanimously said, NO WAY.
Hoping the critter will be on its way back to the woods soon. :)

I just cleaned garage again and no sign of wild critters. We’re going to feed the cats in the house now, eliminating free food. Oh, and use the front door! :)

With no food around, they may show up 1 or 2 more times then give up.
