Mr Possum ...

... now comes when I call. He leans right in for a snack. And scrunches his bits of pear right up. Of course, he still likes a camellia now and again.But wait, there's more, here.

Have we named him yet?
Uh-oh.

I love that he can hang by his back toes! Our opossums can hang by their (admittedly bare and unattractive ratlike) tails.

Well I just hope the little bugger doesn't get in your roof - then you'll be sorry!

It's so amazing when our lives intersect with wild animals - even if they do come when called!
I like that Mr. Brown is now fully engaged in the adventure as well.
Cool pics!

Roo - as a furry button!
Cookie, we are still on quite formal terms, so we call him Mr Poss.
Zoomie, a tiny strip of the underside of his tail is fur free, so he can use his tail for hanging onto things as well as balancing. It's much nicer than an opossum tail I agree.
S, we'd just evict him. There's a good 1/2 dozen local possums around here, we've had no trouble so far (except when one moved into the chimney - but that was an easy fix).
Lee, I didn't post the pic but Mr Brown has fed him too, and had his thumb gripped in thanks.

Yes, I had clicked over to Flickr and viewed the whole slideshow
