I found out the hard way Possums/Opossums? are nasty bastards. Fumbling around in the garage getting ready to take the trash cans out for pickup, something was making noise over by the workbench. I didn't think much of it, as the river is out my back door...but it didn't stop. It went under the workbench so I couldn't get a good look at it. Grabbed a flashlight and it looked like a huge rat! Always heard these things would play dead, right? So I put on some welding gloves thinking I would just pick it up. Wrong. It was hissing and spitting and did not want to leave. And it was certainly not playing dead. I finally threw a boot under the bench and it lumbered outside. Ugly hateful things. I'm not sure if they would prey on cats or not, but they are about the same size as a small cat.
