    Default Jamal, that muther****** is back! (rant)

    We have a possum that comes to our yard that we have named Jamal (after my first boyfriend in junior high that was a little rat-like character too).

    Jamal comes by every once in awhile when I am sitting on the porch smoking with my laptop and SW.

    I hate Jamal.

    We have set up the trap, a nonkill cage, upteen times in attempt to seize him and forcibly relocate him to the Everglades. If he got eaten by an alligator, I would not be upset. But the idiot neighbor who lets her cats out gets pissed because the cats go in there and meow all friggin day until we get home.

    I don't want to kill Jamal, but he scares the living crap out of me. My heart is still racing. I know he has no fear of me AND he has those claws and teeth. Oh g-d, how I hate him so.

    It's tried to attack you?

    No, my roommate.


    I should preface that by saying it was when my roommate was under the house trying to get him out. I was holding the boards that had come loose from one of the openings to the crawl space came loose. He got out from the other side of the house, but openings to underneath are securely sealed now. He comes by when it is cold to sleep under the porch, but we can't close that up. That's why I freak out, he is like coming out from right under where I am sitting. Shudder

    Well if its randomly attacking people for no reason, you should contact animal control. If it's rabid you don't wanna be messing with it in any sort of trap.

    Yeah, they only attack when they're spooked or something is up.

    Otherwise... I feed wild possums... they're sweet. o.o

    ^^^ Wait'll you see the ones in Tasmania. They're so fluffy and cute and they have big bushy tails!

    Sunnie, I'm with Paige. Call animal control.

    If you tell them he tried to attack someone, they'll definitely come out and remove him. Keep in mind they'll probably kill him though. I grew up in FL and never had a problem with opposums. We even had one living in our garage behind the dryer in the winter months. She was nice!

    I would opt for lobbing a grenade at Jamal. Usually, I reserve that tactic for neighbors, but in your case, it might be just what you need.

    OH MAN, I had an oppossum sneak into my house in the middle of the city! It scared the shit out of my kitten! I couldn't get it to leave. I didn't want to hurt it by hitting it but I had to whack it in the butt to get it to leave.

    Could be worse. I live smack in the most urban part of Hollywood and we have a skunk every summer. He never bothers anyone but the potential is there. All summer long, he hangs around our place every night.

    If animal control won't help and insists you must trap the animal, try leaving the trap out shortly before dusk instead of during the day as that's when they go out rummaging for food. They are nocturnal and are nesting during the day. In my trapping experience I've found that a can of tuna fish works great. A good way to make sure the pest doesn't steal your bait is to drill two holes in the bottom of the can and use wire to go through the holes and secure can to live trap. Also, possums do not stay in one place too long so expect it to leave your area soon and possibly return in the future. Happy trapping!

    You have to remember that you probably weigh at least 10 times what the little fucker does, even if you weigh 100 lbs.

    Don't be afraid of it, the only time it's going to even think about biting you is if it feels cornered, as a defense reaction. It's way more scared of you, unless it thinks you are scared of it, just like a dog.

    Show no fear, and it will run from you.

    Okay, it must be the pregnant hormones/cravings, but for some reason, this made my mouth water!

    Awww... I like Possums. They're pretty harmless.

    Yek we have a resident skunk too! I used to see him all the time when I was coming home from work at night. He's HUGE. Big fat happy skunk. I love how they waddle when they walk.

    We had a baby skunk last year too. He was the cutest thing! His body was about the size of a kitten, but his tail was about four or five of him. One time we watched him get into a fight with a possum over some cat food and he was spraying and spraying but he was so little it didn't stink, and the possum didn't care anyway. Unfortunately we didn't get to see the baby skunk grow up... there are coyotes around here.

    I would like to reiterate that this is in an extremely urban area!

    And this thread is really funny. I don't know why, but the fact that the possum's name is Jamal really cracks me up. I keep laughing out loud at the thread title and giggling at the OP.

    Skunks are cute... I was trying desperately in America to get a license to have one as a pet before I moved here.. and here they're not native. :/
