That cat lolling on the Danishes made me laugh so hard! I could just picture my Mother's cat doing that 2 minutes before her bridge club arrived!

...that's not a cat.

A possum, I think.

**shedevilang** · May 24th, 2012, 01:29 PM

I don't think it's a possum either

this is what a possum looks like in my neighborhood

Possums come in different sizes, shapes and flavors. The one with the pastries is a brush tailed possum, apparently. I know nothing about possums. I have never seen one.

But they can be cute

I always thought so too until I moved here. Last month I had to chase a huge armadillo out of my flower bed and I swear he snarled at me!

One of my redneck cousins kept one as a pet forever. It was a tame little thing that was terrified of her cats. It was kind of a cross between the cute little ones and the possessed looking one in the above pictures.

I've only seen the possessed looking ones I don't like the damn things and yes armadillos are mean little critters too

This is an Australian possum, they're very common and a lot of people have them living in their ceilings. They're adorable and they're not considered rabid pests like possums in other countries (but people who get woken up by possum parties in their ceilings may beg to differ - we got used to ours).

The one lying on the cakes looks like it could be a ring-tailed possum but if they said brushtail then I guess I don't know what I'm on about.
