I have been feeding some stray cats in my yard and the other night I looked out and saw a much "larger" cat. When I turned on the outdoor light I realized it was one of the largest possums that I had ever seen - merrily chowing down on the cat food.

This particular one was beyond ugly - the coloring was very dark and mottled. The strays had given it wide berth to allow it to eat.

I do know that the possums are harmless - however, raccoons are a whole different story - especially if they have young with them. I do know of a woman who was visciously attacked in the face by a raccoon and while they were attending her needs and calling paramedics the raccoon went to another home and attacked someone else.

It happened to be a Tuesday evening when I saw the possum and it made me think of Logan and her Tuesday night visits - possum night!!

To see one in the heart of a large city always amazes me - and I wonder where do they go in the middle of the day?
