Possums Have No Manners!
The possum in my garage was staring up at me as if I was the intruder, not him. It had torn open a bag of dry cat food and had scattered it over the garage floor and into my cat's water dish.
This particular possum had come in through the pet door into the garage and was happily eating leftovers from my cat Spike's dinner bowl. He obviously had no fear of me because he kept eating as I walked over to the work bench. Even though possums rarely get rabies, I was trying to keep a little distance between me and him; images of sharp teeth and rabies shots flashed through my brain.
Spike's garage area was being invaded again by a possum that continued to grow fatter by eating my cat's food.
Reluctantly the possum left the room through Spike's cat door, struggling to fit through the opening. A steady diet of good food will make any possum fat.
Raccoons, as well as possums, enter Spike's domain almost every night. I can't keep them out, without shutting the cat out for the night. That wouldn't be fair to him.
The real name of this critter is opossum. But down here in the south we just call it a possum. They are really, really fond of cat food, but will eat almost anything; rodents, insects, frogs, road kill, grains and fruits. Possums are rather lazy, so if there is available food in a garbage can or cat food in a garage they will find it.
While their appetites knows no bounds, they are cowards and will rarely attack any animal bigger than them or any animal that might fight back, including cats. Chances are though, it will just find a cluttered corner of your garage and "play possum."
There are humane ways of possum removal. A 12 gauge shotgun is no longer appropriate for getting rid of possums; especially since I now live in the city. Such an action now would surely lead to spending a night in jail.
City dwellers like me are finding that what once were considered to be wild animals are gradually becoming less and less afraid of humans. City growth is slowly taking over the wild animal's habitat, making the aroma of a trash can irresistible to critters who want a free lunch.
More and more they are associating man with free food. Possum removal or raccoon removal might appear to be a simple thing, but the lure of food is stronger than many animal deterrents.
If possums have found a way into your garage or attic and will not leave, blaring music from a radio is supposed to scare them away. The same goes for very bright lights shining continually, which should make both possums and raccoons, think that it is day time and leave the premises. This never worked for me.
Feed stores carry a variety of possum deterrents and some of them migh even work. They are mostly made from urine of natural predators of the animals you're trying to remove. The fox is a natural predator of the possum, so sprinkling a little around your house could be rewarding.

Another poem to ponder?
Computer Critter
I'm a computer critter,
I eat computer litter.
I hide in the corner of your screen,
But by you, I'll not be seen.
When you turn away,
I will run and play.
I laugh and giggle,
I dance and wiggle.
I do flips but you can't see,
I don't want you looking at me.
I like when you play a game,
When you're not looking I do the same.
My window is your monitor screen,
So do me a favor and keep it clean.
Answer:
Hahaha! I get it! Very enjoyable. Thank you for sharing. But what's your question now?
