Good morning, I got up before dawn this morning and came downstairs to let in the cats who had slept outside on the porch last night. Six or seven cats jumped out of all the cat beds and cat boxes and came running towards the door. Among them was a young possum. The possum climbed up on the porch rail while all the cats ran in but he was gone by the time I got my camera. He was adorable.
