I walked out there with a flash light and he just stared at me and didn't run off, he wasn't even scared. The bastard has a big tail and claws. I threw something at him and he ran off...

they bite don't they?

They have a nasty bite, and are often quite aggressive if they don't have a decent chance of running.

I fail at life.

If he comes back I'll snap some.

We'll settle for pics of the wife or girlfriend or both. Preferrably both. Together. Wrestling. In jello. Naked.

The bastard came back but I tried to take a pic but it's too dark and the flashlight isn't doing enough.

oh, about the biting. Yes they bite. But they have to be the dumbest, slowest creature there is. They'll hiss at you, aren't agressive at all and only bite if you stick your foot in their mouth.

We feed cats on our back deck and every so often get visited by raccoons and the occassional possum. the cats just hang back and wait for the other animal to get done.

You've got a defective cat there. Take it back where you got it from, and exchange it for one that'll chase off rodents (oversized or not...), like they're supposed to.

One just sat there and stared at me as I scooped him off a low branch in my backyard into a pool net. Then the bastard just hung on until I dumped him over the fence. :laugh:

Big ass opossum chilling with cat and eating cat food. That would have been a great pic. Would have ripped through the internet in no time.

Those things are rabies vectors, so be careful around him.

Has your cat had rabies shots lately?
