I fed them several days ago because they got inside somehow and were raiding my cat’s dish. I moved her food into my bedroom and eventually caught them both and when they came in there to eat. I put them back outside, but later that night they were back inside the house again and scooting back to the bedroom to get more food.

I’ve caught them and put them back out again but same thing. There’s obviously an opening into my old cottage somewhere and we’ll find it this next month when we rehab the unit. But I hate to put them out because they’re at an age where a marauding raccoon may come along and kill and eat them.

Oh well. Pray for my little babies, would ya?

I was lying in bed reading and heard my cat eating her chow. I looked up to watch her but there was no cat. Instead a little possum was eating her food. It moved on to her squeezy and gravy treats and jumped when I pspspspsed at it. It then ambled into my bedroom for a second and apparently went back out the front door. I put out some tuna, which my cat won’t eat, and a little saucer of milk.

It will come back in tomorrow night too so I’ve got to get some possum food. What’s the best website for learning about their diet? Also I’ve heard about packaged possum food, which I think is a chow. Does anybody have experience with that?

The above meme is to prove that the North American marsupial is called a possum, no matter what those people in Australia think!

That’s a play on the title of the Neil Young song “Rust Never Sleeps.”

At least I think that’s what greebles look like.
