I have heard that in the South they may catch a possum and feed them milk and bread--
for a few days to "Sweeten'm Up" before butcher'n.
Their normal diet is road k**l, insects, rodents, etc.
Like vultures they are nature's garbage collectors and they are a necessary part of the environment.
Cool, it was just funny to me that anyone could mistake a possum for a cat. I've rescued over 25, only have 5 living with us now. Sara the 2 week old kitten she has pink eye or maybe her eyes aren't opened yet. My friend Carol had a blind kitty, they get around okay using their other senses.
