He Had Fun and The Opossum

Last night Tony came in smelling just like a fish, like he used his pants to wipe his hands, well I know he did but I have to get the smell out there for you, They had a good time. When the fish did not cooperate in one lake they simply went to another, with the Dam being last and the place they caught the most. They did not bring any home, well Tony didn`t, the other guy may have taken them, but he said they had a good time. When I checked outside for the cat last night I noticed how cold it was, so I flipped on the weather channel and sure enough our area was clear and there would be spotty frost! So at 10 pm I am getting out all the sheets to cover the baby veggie plants and the lemon tree that is loaded with fruits. That is when I noticed movement on the deck, a big fat opossum was hunting a place to escape and not to be seen, he had found the cat food and was having a party, a dinner party that is, I shooed him away but I know he will come back. Dang undertakers getting lazy and going for the cat food instead of hunting up some road kill. So a good Morning to you and I hope you have a wonderful day!

At least the opossums are relatively harmless. As for fishing, if I fish, it's to eat.

Me too, Tony usually does the same but if he is not going to clean them he puts them back or gives them to someone who will eat them.

Glad Tony had a good time. At least we were not cold enough for frost last night, but I already had the plants under cover from the night before. If you wish to trap the opossum just roll an egg into the back of a trap. They love raw egg

@andriaperry I catch raccoons with egg too. They like to eat them but have to check anything out. I have caught raccoons with an empty bright bowl.

Thanks! I have a trap, Tony caught one last year and took it a couple miles away and dumped it.

Possums are such ugly creatures aren't they? And they do love cat food, I remember that from when my parents had one wander onto their porch, where there was a pan of cat food. I hope that you're having a good day today.

It's good you thought to check the weather channel and cover up your plants.

Have not seen any here lately, but I feed my cat indoors. When I have food that needs to go, I have a place I put it and I am sure the 'possum and/or the armadillo enjoy the feast. I try not to have much like that that goes out. They also enjoy my compost area.

We get opossum around here often. They run out under the wheels of cars all the time. They remind me if squirrels that way. I do not even want to picture the smell of that fish on Tony's pants

We had a very chilly overnight too and I had to put the heat back on. Tomorrow we'll need the air conditioning. Crazy! I'm not fond of opossums or raccoons especially when they get into the trash cans
