Was it a bitch to get out? I had opossums get inside of my shed at my old house but I could always just corral them into a garbage can.

I don't think it's a cruelty issue. Well not for me anyway. Just no reason not to let them out. Cats are pretty smart with roads.
Maybe just not American cats huh?
We got her from a shelter when she was a pup. The people there were adamant that she was a staffy x rottweiler. Which is nonsense. Staff x lab is my guess.
Cool, you know racoons can literally see with their hands? they have nerves in there that link to there optical center in the brain.
Not really but when we found him he was under this free standing shelf deal and the door was closed, fuck knows how long he'd been there. I rattled a sweeping brush down the back of it and he bolted out the door. True as god, the little bastard had a shit on the doorstep that night.

No we just have larger roads and more people driving.
I imagine if we had 1/5 of our population crammed into the state of Pennsylvania then a lot of things would be different though.

I did not know that. Very cool. They are very clever animals too.
Lol. Well a raccoon would be smart and quick enough to get out before you went to get the broom. An opossum would be a different story. Fucking huge teeth and nasty as fuck when cornered. Often times they will just play dead, but fuck ever letting one get ahold of your arm.
Ye they look lik a hideous beast, what's their deal scavenging trash ect?
Raccoons gotta eat too.
What's her breed? American Staff? My friend has one looks like her.
My girl Chloe.
Ah ye, possums too but I'll keep a wary distance.

That's mostly how the urban ones get by but they'll eat almost anything. My neighbor left his bird cage outside and closed but unlocked. When he woke up the next morning the cage was empty.
They are omnivorous though and the wild ones will eat berries, nuts, fruit, small insects, and small reptiles or mammals I imagine.
You know you're tough when you can survive this:

Ah you meant opossums. Fuck if I know what they usually eat, but yeah they scavenge trash a lot.
I was thinking they had a similar role. What's the craic with badgers? none in US or just florida? That racoon was a bad ass literally took him in deep water.
She's lovely.

They're only in colder weather states I believe. We have bobcats in Florida and panthers in protected areas out west but I've never seen either one. Elusive as fuck
Same as badgers I stumbled across one day way out in the boonies, mid afternoon weirdly. Only ever see them dead on or scurrying off the road usually.
She's in great shape man. It's good to see.
Couple more of my beast
She was a skeleton when I brought her home. Grain free high protein food and plenty of love and she has put on almost 20 lbs.
I just switched to that shit half way through the first bag, already my staffy has stopped twitching when excited, last week he would literally vibrate at the door almost like he was shaking in fear that has stopped now, he still circles and whines but no shaking. My Malamute/Huskie was like that when I got him I could feel his spine and pelvis very clearly. He was five at the time, only last year but he has decent muscle now. He's still half skinny but.
Your cat is one of the coolest I've ever seen. Those whiskers are amazing!!Also, my cat > your cat.
Black and white tuxedo cats have always been my favorites.
