Possums are just furry rats and they often carry rabies


.
If it were me I'd back away slowly and call the fire department. Okay, so they'd laugh at me. Come to think around here, we don't have possums, but we do have packrats. Ours is either (finally) dearly departed, or in some kind of hibernation. I bet they carry rabies too, and for a brief time, the packrat and I were briefly
sharing a large bag of jolly ranchers.
LOL, almost put them off me completely, although I did feel some empathy for the packrat, liking jolly ranchers as much as me. But not enough to not let the husband kill like 3 of them. Who knows, it might have been a family.
I suggested jolly ranchers as bait, but the husband made fun of me.
