This is a "Wild Tail"
Bandit Mama stopped by for some kibble and was lounging on the deck. Sitting next to the window and grooming herself. All of a sudden- something happened. She came alert... and started sneaking around the edge of the deck...

A new female possum was on the deck enjoying leftovers. Watch how Bandit Mama sneaks around behind her... (your narrator had a broom ready and was ready to stop any shenanigans)... what will they do?

Bandit Mama is playing it very cool, as she sneaks around the entire deck... casing the kibble and the Possum. She can't stand it and casually moseys up to the kibble on the deck... you can see her reach out her paw to snag kibble right under the Possum. Oh my!

Just another night on The Deck... two critters dining-very closely- under the stars...

Here the diners have moved apart. Ms. Possum likes the leftover wet cat food. Bandit Mama loves the Meow Mix kibble. You'll note that Ms. Possum is a very clean diner.

Now the dinner party comes to a close. Bandit Mama enjoys a refreshing drink and then leaves down the ramp. Ms Possum cleans herself once more and ambles down the stairs on the other side of the deck.
Two no longer strangers in the dark.

i just posted an adventure with a raccoon & possum... you can see here that they can co-exist. although, this could be mellow temperaments for these particular animals... we'll see.
@QueenOfEverything @webgyreuser I’m surrounded by opossums, raccoons, skunks, foxes, deer everywhere, copperheads, black snakes, and spiders everywhere. I also have gypsy moths that the department of wildlife watch regularly. My cats don’t like any of them and become little ninjas when they attack any of them when they cross into their territory. My son encased my back deck so the cats can enjoy the outside and stay safe.
