The Upstairs Neighbors

My brother spent all last night battling around the house with two very large opossums that have taken over the attic/crawl space. He tried plugging up their apparent entryway over the garage only to find they had another on the other side of the house. He fought one of them with a broom in the lanai. (He had the broom, not the opossum.) So, now, after three hours sleep he's calling city animal control to see if they can help, if not he'll buy a trap and hope they're dumb enough to fall for it (the rat wasn't) so he can release them up north.

He's pretty sure they're the critters that stole the tomatoes.

Kind of makes me wonder--if the opossums are about--why the young cats keep coming into the lanai to visit. I think the 'possum could take one of them apart with ease.
