Possoms are cute

[bermich]

I never really saw a possom before. A few weeks ago, I saw one on my porch eating my room mates dog food. It just looked up at me with it's cute beedy little eyes and pointy nose. Then, it just walked away all casual into the dark. Now my room mate is out and she took her cat and dog. This means I have no cat or dog to hunt the small little animals or keep them away. I sometimes leave my back door open. Well now that just means an open invitation for POSSOMS I found out. I was sleeping on the floor of my living room and woke up after getting a weird feeling of something near me.

I look over and see a "CUTE" baby possom, the size of a bunny, looking at me. They arent very fast or smart creatures I found out. It found some of my pizza on the plate and was just munchin away while inside my house.
I caught him in a shoe box and was checking him out. They look like cool little animals. I think Im gonna keep one as a pet. De rabitize him and maybe cut off his "rat-like" tail and he will be a good little house pet.

true, they do look really cute but I hate the tail bro, their tail make them look like a fat ass rat.
Last autumn I found a baby hedgehog and kept it for 3 months before I released back to nature, they are also pretty cute looking animals.

i agree, possoms look cute as hell, they are only second to raccoons, i love raccoons. adopt a possum now!

[decadbal]

2 ppl who mispelled the animals name....LOL

[RJM03]

Sorry, I dont share your enthusiasm about possums. I think there are gross and look like rats......BIG rats.

[CanadianSteel]

i say, you should eat it for protein

[BajanBastard]

i say, you should eat it for protein

Yes i read somewhere that it tastes like corned-beef and is hi-protein. Don't cut off the tail just tame it and keep it...JMO.

i would wayyy rather have a monkey

[Dee-termined]

i would wayyy rather have a monkey

I agree, but if you want a forest pet don't be a wussy and settle for a little possom, go get yourself a cute cuddly bear cub, or if size is a issue, a cougar or something. lol

[Jhn36]

Just be glad you have "possums", when I lived in Louisiana we had skunks that would come up on the porch and eat the cat food. Try figuring out how to run one of those off safely.

They aren't so cute when they are tearing through your garbage tho. I really think they are cute when they are dead on the side of the road

[Cycleon]

dont cut off the tail - then you can let it hang around your house

[PuddleMonkey]

Uh.... I'll pass

[SV-1]

Those aren't American opossums.

Uh.... I'll pass

[SV-1]

This is.



Cute, huh?

[Devourer]

there was a rabid possum hiding in our barn one day. i had 17 shots in the .22 rifle. yeah its a pussy gun i know. but anyways i was a foot away from the possum shooting it in the head and it was just slowly walking away. so it took all 17 bullets! i went back inside to reload and when i came back out it had made it past the tree line! rough little bastards...

[decadbal]

SV is the only person so far to spell it right...dam fellas...lets set the example here.... we cant have so many animal threads misspelled, this will make us all not look like we watch the nature channel..lol

[RageControl]

Anything that can grow 3 inch fangs is not cute to me. Newyork grows some nasty opossums.

[taiboxa]

LoL i liked the title so i decided to BUMP it

[BARLOW]

possums are the nastiest lil things ever....... and they wont die!!
i live on a farm, they r crazy.....
i found 1 one time, beat it with a crowbar, shot it, still was crawling..... put a hay hook it in and tied it behind the truck and dragged it on the highway..... it was skinless pretty much and still crawling away..... i think he found my stash of roids lol.... he ended up dying after i did a burnout on his head.

[taiboxa]

LOL have you ever gone Possom Kicking?
so much sick fun

[BARLOW]

hahahah they just act dead..... then they try gettin back up and wam!

[taiboxa]

we chased one down in me truck in the fields and my buddy got out and kicked it i swear it flew 40+yards.. it was a FieldGoal Style kick.. it was so sick.. i thought the little critter was going to explode...

[BARLOW]

[Sierra_Breeze]

They scare me...........I used to have to carry off a opossum, for an older neighbor lady of ours all the time she was making a nest in her trash can of leaves.....and it would hisssssssssss at me and looked like it was laughing at me

[seanw]

Yeah they are cute on cans labelled Dog Food. They are vermin where I come from

[PrairieDawg]

LOL. this thread should be renamed to "I like to shoot, kick, and beat the fuk out of opossums with a 2x4"

[BARLOW]

hahaha it should.

[BUBBA74]

Last experience I had with a **** possum was when I was getting ready to go fishing a few months ago. I flipped our john boat over behind our shed and this little bastard possum charged out from under it hissing and growling. It freaked me the h*ll out at first but when I saw it was a possum I kicked some dirt at it and it hauled a**. On another note my grandmother had a pet possum for the longest time. She found it in her shed when it was small and she kept it for like 4 or 5 years. She kept it in a rabbit cage and fed it cat food.

[Harvey Balboner]

those little ****ers are mean as the devil. the only good one is a dead one.

[West Coast All Star]

I hit one on the way to work this AM. I used it as a Pro/fat meal.
