Damned raccons around here are driving us crazy eating all teh cat
food. The cats act as if the coons are just another cat. The possum
barely glances up if we go outside to give the cats more food.
My 9 yr old daughter decided to catch a possum one night without
telling us. She put cat food in a fishing net rigged to fall on him.
About 3 in the morning we awake to a gawdawful racket, turn on the
outside light to find a panicked possum dragging the net and 2 turned
over lawn chairs. Finally freed him by manipulating the net with a
garden rake. Had to chasten my curious daughter not to try to catch
any more varmints.
