Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooood morning, y'all!!! So last night's wildlife encounter was a face to face encounter with a local possum. Sebastian (the black cat who politely, and not so politely at times, comes up to ask for his dinner at our windows) had come as usual to ask for dinner. It being a wee late (going on 11 pm) I pop out quickly, have a chat with him about being late for dinner and that he needs to ask before I get ready for bed, as I won't go out in my nightie. (Yes, I talk to the damn cats as if they were people, it's a habit of mine since childhood. So there!) I'm bending down talking with Seb and pouring his food when I realize that about 3' in front of me, I have another guest. Idiot here thinking it's another cat, start talking softly to it when it looks up in the moonlight and I see the most adorable pointy little face. However, that also clearly tells me that it is NOT a cat (and no, folks, I ain't even considering taming this one!) so I get all still and just stand there, still talking it. Eventually, after a few minutes, it gave me a sad look like "what? you're not going to feed me too?" and ambled slowly off into the night's shadows. I have GOT to stop being a sucker for the damn animals!!!! First raccoons, now possums, this is NOT the Beverly Hillbillies mansion!
