What Mom Found On The Balcony
Last night we were minding our own business when we heard sirens right outside the window. I immediately ran and hid, but Mom and Catzee went to see what was up. Evidently the fire department had been called out for an apartment in the next building. Mom said there was no smoke, but the fire fighters were in and out of one of the second story apartments for about two hours.
Mom watched from the balcony for awhile, when all of a sudden she heard what sounded like a potted plant falling over. She looked down, and she saw this.....
We have several wooded areas nearby and Mom figures this little guy must have been snooping around, got frightened by all the commotion, and climbed up the balcony as if it was a tree.
At first Mom didn't know what to do about him. She thought about waiting to see if he climbed down by himself, but she didn't want him to be stranded all night either. Finally she thought to put some Catfood in a bowl inside the PTU.
We watched to see what would happen. It only took a couple of minutes for this to happen ......
Mom quietly slipped out and closed the PTU door. Then she took him outside and downstairs.
It didn't take long after she opened the PTU door that he ran out and away. I just hope he didn't eat any of my Catgrass.

did you get to go in the PTU after that and smell it? that would haf been furry 'aciting!
How neat! Looks like a young opposum. Marley was face to face with one at our sliding glass door one time! Marley on the inside that is, and the opposum on the outside, lol.
I bet your PTU is quite smelly and interesting now. Can he count as your non cat friend for Karl's dare?
You folks sure get some interesting visitors around your house. I hope Mr. Possum doesn't think your place is good for free treats though. And I'm glad your mom didn't get hurt by the scared possum.
If your mom wanted to keep the visitors off the back balcony she could get that baby protection stuff (looks like big sheets of plexiglass) to block the spaces between the bars...course that wouldn't keep them from coming to the front door.
Whoa... interesting visitor. Go sniff the PTU and see what he smelled like.
Purrrrrrs,
your bud Pepi

Purrs, KC
It would be very mean of the intruder possum to steal your Catgrass. And he does look a little bit sneaky, too.
It was very nice of your mom to make sure he got away safely.
So much acitement at yoor howse! Fire trucks and possums oh my, bet da PTU smells verrrrry intristing...

How could yur mom do that to you? I mean, whatefur kinda kitty that is, it isn't as cute or purry as you guys. An its nose is too long an the tail looks like it belongs on a rat.
Good fing yur mom didn't decide to keep it. Now yur PTU will smell funny, too.
Moms!
[Victor's Mom here - that was nice and brave of you to rescue the little opossum and release it.]
