bebe Possum that is, it'll be weeks before Ping's little sister comes to stay.
Mrs Poss popped down while I was bringing in the washing, a tinny rattle of her empty dish is usually the first I know she's there.
We've not been shopping at all this week, so a handful of tiny, juicy grape tomatoes was all I had to offer.
And then I spotted it, a long, rather rat-like tail, poking out of the pouch. Yep, it's the new
bebe.
I thought she was, that rather large
wibbly blob in the pouch region was very suspicious.
Mrs Poss isn't fazed, just so long as you keep the tomatoes going.
A possum's wash and brush up, post tomato, is remarkably like a
pusscat's.
Lots of paw licking and whisker
smoothings.
And then she's off, to visit the next muggins who provides snacks.
With a little tail trailing along, it's probably quite hot in there.

Wow, very, very cute possum.
That's gorgeous! I've never seen a possum before... Can't wait to see more of the bebe...
Roo, ta, odd angles were required to snap them let me tell you.
No names for the kitting, a couple of ideas but we'll wait to see what suits.
Cookie, there are several man posses around, but Mrs Poss is a feisty one and sees them off her patch once she's had her wicked way with them!
Lee, I love to share, you know that :)
Mary, cute she is indeed.
Sue, I can't wait either, but it won't be until there's a bit more fur grown I suspect.
I love that she rattles her empty dish. How quickly they train us! Great pics, keep 'em coming.
E, I'm not sure she deliberately rattles, just checks it and pushes it around if it's empty. But you're right, I was quickly trained :)
For us non-Aussies, possums are very exotic and almost mythical! It must be fun having them around. Am I right in guessing that they are "wild" as in not owned by any particular human, but "tame" enough to keep close to humans to get food?
görel, you are right, she's not a pet, she's a wild native beast that chooses to visit our garden. That she chooses to do so makes me very, very happy indeed. We live about 6km from the city, that wild creatures manage to eek out a living, and I am able to help them do that, is a great joy.
