BTW, does anyone know how to take care of a possum? He’s bleeding on his arm and chest area.
Update: I dropped him off at a wildlife center. They’re taking care of him!

Keep your cat inside.
KEEP YOUR DAMN CAT INSIDE WHERE THEY ARE MEANT TO BE KEPT!!!
I’m seeing some armchair cat-owners in here.
“kEeP yOuR cAt InSiDe WhErE iT bElOnGs”
i’ve had cats my whole life and they’ve always been way happier and more satisfied when we let them outside during the day
Off topic but I read somewhere that possums are immune to Lyme disease and rarely get rabies. Perhaps they are the key to “curing” those diseases?
If it’s under 7” it needs help!
Oh possum….!
For anyone else that comes across a baby that is 7 inches or less and the mom doesn’t seem to be around, 1- keep it warm! Towel, a heating pad, or a hot water bottle wrapped in cloth. 2- pedialyte mixed with water and a little honey, karo syrup or sugar and 3-if it’s covered in fleas, wash with dawn dish soap and then maybe a quarter pill of capstar in cat food. Then call your local wildlife rescue. Glad you helped this little baby!!!! You’re awesome!
LOCK UP YOUR FUCKING CATS SO THEY DONT KILL NATIVE ANIMALS FOR FUCKS SAKE
Paw paw!
I love letting my little invasive super predator out to murder the native wildlife
I’ve received possum heads before from my cat, then I rub his belly and snuggle with him
Has anyone mentioned keeping your fucking cat indoors? No excuse to be ignorant of their impact in this day and age.
Please keep house cats in the house. They decimate wildlife every year.
The noble opossum is the only native marsupial in Texas. This majestic creature will eat all sorts of pests. It is also known to to be an enthusiastic fan of Nickleback!
this is why i hate cats and cat people, but good on you for admitting responsibility and doing something to make up for your negligence.
He just needs an empty moonshine jug and some overalls, he’ll be fine.
Thank you for taking care of this cute little possum! You are a good person!
