A couple of years prior, our feline vanished during the evening. We were crushed by the deficiency of our adored Teddy and accused the nighttime coyotes who live in the open space close to our home. Nonetheless, during a visit to the Animal Shelter, we were informed that opossums, raccoons, and fowls of prey are fit for executing felines. We immediately turned our annoyance on the opossum (Didelphis Virginian) who ran along our fence around evening time and provoked the canine. It was anything but difficult to abhor a particularly creature; with their rat like noses, beady bruised eyes, and thick, bald prehensile tails.
