Most of the weasel family hiss when threatened. The hiss is a low sound lasting for approximately 3 seconds or so, often repeated if the threat does not dissipate. they also offer a scream if the threat intensifies. In mink its a loud high pitched scream, in ferrets and polecats its a barking scream, in stoats and weasels it is a high pitched yelping scream.

Possums make loud hissing sounds and grunting noises when they are afraid, engaged in territorial disputes or in protective mode, defending themselves. They also make an unusual long, punctuated growl.

No. A possum cannot make a meow sound like that which a cat makes.
