have had a big ole possum living under my shed out behind the workshop for more years than I can remember… he’s so big and fat and huge now that he looks kind of distorted. Pretty much leave him alone these days, but have caught him and petted him a few times… just love that soft possum fur. He sure doesn’t like it and always shows that mouth full of teeth, but the possum reflex kicks in and he can’t do much, although he did tear up a semi- feral tomcat once which I’d been gradually tamin’ down to the point that I had to put the cat down.

You could probably catch one o’ those little coons and have a fun pet.
