Success on the opossum front. After a week, we finally isolated and captured Possum Chile #2. This one was camping under the refrigerator. We had to find a way to keep our cats, Sara and Emma, away from the trap in the kitchen.
We captured our indoor/outdoor kitkats and put them in our bedroom with bowls of food and water. We rigged up the trap with kibble and water. And at first, the little guy just waltzed into the trap, knocked over the water and ate some food. Then waltzed back out. Stewart went down to the kitchen three times during the night. Finally, at 5:00 a.m. the last adjustment to the trap did the trick and the cocky little bastard was trapped.
The possum is a nasty creature. Dirty white. Pink nosed. Beady eyed. Rat-tailed and hissing. This is the creep who pooped in Sara and Emma's food dishes and on their favorite toy. And we're letting this varmint live!
So, yay us. We got rid of the infestation ourselves. And didn't buy a shotgun or blow up these rat-vermin. We are sooo cool! (Well, actually, I didn't do that much ;-)
Started a new book by Ursula Hegi, the first of her many that I've tried. Perhaps tomorrow I'll remember the name of it!
