Funny opossum stories! I used to leave food out on my patio for the feral cats at night time. No more! I would look out there at night and I had raccoons, skunks, and opossums having a party on the patio. When I turned on the light they were not impressed. The most forward of all the critters were the raccoons! They would stand on their hind feet and put their forepaws on my patio door looking for more food!
One night after I stopped leaving food out I was opening the back door to let my cat in (or so I thought) and a raccoon sticks his head in! I felt like that lady in the commercial that didn't have her glasses and let a raccoon in! Now I leave my patio light on at all times during the dark hours. I hope to discourage the wild ones from visiting. |
