As expected, we caught a possum. Went out to check the trap and saw a triangular white face peering at me in the darkness and knew. . .

Barry held the flashlight while I donned gloves and opened the cage to release the possom who was frightened out of his wits, poor thing. Thought he was getting a nice tuna dinner and ended up in a cage. Just a small guy too. Well, we closed the trap and Barry will reset it in the morning since he will be home today.

Funny though, we put up a chainlink fence in the back of the yard on Saturday and I haven't seen a cat since. I think that they are being wary since the environment has changed. I also bought some animal deterent that I will put down either after we catch the cats or if we don't catch any at all. I can sprinkle it at the perimeter of the property and in the spots where they spray. It's organic and the ingredients don't appear to be harmful, just smelly.
