Caught Ya!

This little fella has been eating my kitty's food and getting into our trash for several weeks now. Jade has been trying to catch it. I can't even stand to look at these things! Their little feet/hands are so creepy! And, that hairless tail! GROSS!

Mom, Lauren, and I had to run something out to my house late last night. While we were there, I decided to let Spinner outside to do his business. We all three walk out on the back deck and much to our surprise, we look in a cat carrier I had next to the house, and the opossum was sitting in it! I think it thought it was hidden from us. We quickly shut the door and I called Jade to tell him the good news! He came out and took it several miles away from our house near a creek. As much of a nuisance as this thing was, I didn't want to kill it. After all, the poor, nasty thing was just hungry!
