I used to be afraid of them. But they're so docile and cute.. Had my 4 year old nephew pick on up I was mortified but nothing happened he didn't bite or so anything

They are good neighbors

They always ate my cat food and hung out in the winter shelter for my outdoor cat lol. And when you confront them they play dead
GoGoSoLo@reddit
There’s an amazing Halloween example of the playing dead behavior that just overwhelmed me with cute recently.

They are great animals to have in the ecosystem in your community.

Until they get into your two story house in between floors, have 20 kids and live there crapping and pissing everywhere. Been there, done that and took about two months of trapping/releasing. They still hang around here at the house and the farm behind but the house entry for them is sealed finally. At the time I had to spray paint (little squirt) their back as some were still making their way back in the house. Not pleasant and appreciating them outside.

I think they are adorable, even though I call them funny looking cats. They used to come for the cat like buffet I put out for the strays.. always politely walking away like “ pardon me, excuse me, just gonna walk over here”

Same!! Seeing my first baby possum made me so happy because it was so fluffy 😭
SmugCichlid@reddit
And they only live for a little bit 😢

I have one out back myself. They are really sweet animals.

Thank you for your service, Possum bro!

They eat ticks! Good people!
Opossums are highly efficient at grooming themselves and remove and consume ticks that attach to their fur. Studies have estimated that an opossum can consume up to 5,000 ticks in a single season. This helps to reduce the number of ticks that can transmit diseases such as Lyme disease to humans and other animals.

One of the chillest animals ever. It’s a shame how people treat them like they’re some sort of dangerous species that needs to be killed right away.

Not only are they super cute but they’re also beneficial to the ecosystem, eat ticks, and are resistant to diseases !

"Don't mind me, I'm just here to eat what you want gotten rid of."
"Be my guest. You want some of this stuff I want to keep?"
"No thanks. You don't mind if I hunt around in it, do you?"
"Not at all."

I tore my backyard shed down this year and inadvertently evicted my possum. Consider yourself blessed!

They're fun but they drive my dog crazy. Just had to drag her inside less than a minute ago because of her barking.
