If you have a look at my photos you'll see one of the possum which comes to visit the workshop. It's a shot of it between rolls of copper wire. Very cute! It's the most unlikely spot to find a possum, in the midst of work benches , tools and electric motors but maybe it likes the shiney copper!Although we live in the bush we are not surrounded by kangaroos or koalas - we see a huge variety of bird life and endless insects but the possum is a bit of a rarity coming so close to human activity.The cats are still bringing in lizards and frogs but so far the baby, Willy, hasn't caught any birds. Reggie brought in a huge rat the other day and she was pretty pleased with herself. I think I praised her too much because a few days later she caught a bat. When I saw it under the table I thought it was another rat, but unfortunately it was a small bat - with its wings chewed off. This is a cat who would eat 24/7 if the food was available and I cant imagine what compelled her to just eat the wings.Most nights when I get up to go to the toilet there is a frog in to house, being tormented by one of the cats. I pick them up and put them out - probably only to be eaten by some other creature but if I leave them inside I may step on them. Stepping on a frog in the middle of the night isn't something I'd recommend!

Here in south Texas, the frogs seem to be gone. Haven\'t seen one in many years. Not much meat on a bat. Those we do have. They eat mosquitos
Nice pics! As for entry, I have to admit that I would be scared of all those bugs and things.. ;o) I\'m nt usually scared of bugs and things, but around here, they are kinda small.. ;o)
Now, I know why I don\'t do cats... They would make me cry... My outside dogz are not such avid hunters anymore, and usually just bring scraps of the slaughters of the farmer over the hill... He raised beef cattle, and it is not usual to find a hoof with the bottom of a leg attached in my yard... Yuk, but I guarantee, those dogz did not bring that beast down...
Don\'t you worry about rabies? or disease? Ok, I\'m going so good luck with that... xoxoxo Cj
cj - we dont have rabies in Australia! I\'m not sure what disease you can catch from a frog - warts perhaps!!!
I found a rat foot and some intestines the other day...have no clue where the rest went.
Gotta love those Kitties. xoxoxo Sewer Rat
We have a baby possum that comes on our front porch and eats cat food. It is so cute. Yesterday the cat was eating a bird in our front yard. Left some rib bones on the kitchen counter last night and the cats knocked them down to the floor and cleaned them. I love my kitties so I always forgive them! lol
Love, Nancy
