Nothing like a little excitement while I'm cooking for Thanksgiving! Trey went out to check on the kittens, when a "flash" went past him and hid behind the porch swing. He told me that he wasn't too sure what it was, but after describing the tail (which could be seen sticking out), I knew we either had a possum or a rat. Luckily, Joe Vanderslice showed up, and the brave soul~ bless his heart~ went over and coaxed it out with a stick. It was a big ol' possum! Now I know to take the kitten's food inside at night!
