I love them. They have cute little faces.
I keep hoping to find one and raise it like a cat.

Had a gf who had a playing possum kink.

Her body temperature ran hot so I knew it was an act but I played along for the nookie.

It’s the half shell ones I don’t care for.

They only live for 3 to 4 years, even in captivity. I don’t want to get attached to a pet with such a short lifespan.

I used to think the same thing until I learned that they eat venomous snakes and other wild nuisances. Now I want them on my property.

They reportedly consume a whole lot of ticks. I hate ticks more than mosquitoes. Therefore, I love possums.

Opossums have a remarkable ability to find food and to remember where it is.
When tested, opossums outscored rats, rabbits, cats, and dogs—but not humans.
They also can find their way through a maze more efficiently than rats and cats.

Cool little critters, but their life span is only around 2 years in the wild/4 years in captivity.

I have a real possum that visits a few nights a month while I'm sitting outside smoking my cigar. I call him George Jones.

Had a pet raccoon when I was in college, but never had a possum. But I will say that Opossums are Awesome.
