I think my cat just killed a possum! (PHOTOS)


Recommended Posts

you actually examined the skeleton, dont you have anything better to do with your time, as well as your dad.........worrying !

Come on, you're sitting at your computer posting in a thread about a skeleton that he examined, and you say he has nothing better to do?

haha, nice story :p i dont think a cat is capable of killing, and eating an animal of that site.. It was probably something like a racoon, that ate it apart..

cute cat :p :cat:

I had a tough pet rooster once. He was so bad ass. He was very use to humans, he would come up to you and do a little dance around your feet.

A possum almost killed him once, a lady beat him in the head with a walking cane, and the dog almost chewed him up. He still lived.

In the end he got run over by the neighbor's car. Damn I miss that bird.

The cat is innocent. Clearly the cat didn't do it. It's just looks to clean.

O rly??? (sorry, couldn't resist) It seems like that skeleton is a bit large for your cat to have killed it (though of course it's really hard to judge perspective), but if it was small enough, it seems perfectly reasonable to believe that the cat did kill it. Supercat - protecting our back yards from critters one skeleton at a time...

Well, some of you have suggested that it might have been a younger possum, and that's entirely possible too. The possum that we thought it might have been actually lived under our deck, and had babies a while ago, so my cat might be not just a possum killer, but a baby killer. I'll make sure to post more photos if I find anything else lying dead in our yard. :)

EDIT: Go Steelers!

I doubt that a cat can take on something that size AND strip it clean. Cat's (in my experiance) dont eat everything if they can't fit it down their throat whole (they would with something as small as a mouse).

totally wrong. my cat kills squirrels and birds and eats them in the backyard. most times he only leaves the tail behind

    • Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?

    • And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
