I love possums and I think they are so cute. I don't know what people think they are ugly. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. They come up on our deck and eat the dog food I put out for raccoons and drink the water I put out.
They're great and used to come on our deck and eat or drink if they could or just pass through. Some of them became tamish but at time did not seem to realise that toes were not for nibbling on.
