Default Plural of "possum"

Is it "Possi" or Posses or just "possums". Fool dogs are going
bonkers over a couple of less than usual possums hiding in the brush
pile out back. You'd think they had never seen Possums before.

OK, that did not come out right. I meant the Possums are more active
than the dead ones we usually see on the road.

The ones on the road are generally inactive, being roadkill although
some people think they are born that way. These two were scurrying
round and round the brush pile driving the dogs nuts. They musta been
hungry for cat food cause they normally stay out of the fenced back
yard for fear of the dogs. Some nights, I'll go out back to the deck
and see if the cats are eating and instead of 3, I'll count 5.
Possums look up like saying "We're just funny lookin cats, pay us no
mind". Cats are "speciasts" though, they'll eat with possums but not
with raccoons.

Yeah, the possums here look up...and my wife once in a while takes
leftovers out to them, along with the foxes, raccoons, groundhogs,
birds, et cetera. Every outdoor mammal, btw, seems to like Purina cat
chow. We buy some in the winter to help out the forest's edge critters.
Also bags of corn for the deer. The possums we saw in Florida were much
bigger than the ones around here.

She feeds them at the edge of the woods.

My pet maine coon cat "Cal" used to hang out with raccoons when he was a
bitty kitten, but we captured him and brought him indoors. Our cats only
go outside now when they are in a pet carrier and on their way to the vet.

Cal is on the left. It took him just a couple of minutes to decide
inside was better than outside.

Not much. What they are is extra ugly. Skunks are good looking, oddly
enough.
