Possums! We had some in our garage when I was growing up. My dad was softhearted and said, "Oh, let them stay, they're just little."

Possums are so adorable, especially the babies! They eat ticks and are immune to rabies, so I would let them stay. I took care of a possum once when I was volunteering with an exotic animal rescue.

@PetuniaPutnick I'm so glad you didn't disturb them. They are very misunderstood animals.

Looking cute but handling those activities is very hard.. To control those now you need one Kitten..

@PetuniaPutnick Opossums and raccoons are that way with babies. Well, any mother will protect their babies.

You need Granny Clampett from the Beverly Hillbillies. What a fine bunch of possums. They just look different than kitty cats but they're just critters who would rather you didn't bother them.

I love spring and summer here so I can sit on the porch and watch the sun come up and get sun as well.

I've seen videos of people finding possums in the most interesting places. They always like to surprise people.

@PetuniaPutnick animals who just gave birth are really dangerous, you made the right call by leaving them alone.
