Possums do not "love" one country more than another. However, they have thrived in New Zealand because there is a complete absence of natural predators in that country.

Why did the Australians put the possums on New Zealand?

It is not so much that Australians took possums to New Zealand, but rather than New Zealand people brought them from Australia for the purpose of starting the fur trade there. Possums were seen as a ready source of fur, food and fibre.


Can a cat attack and eat a possum?

Cats and possums are reasonably evenly matched in their ability to fight and defend themselves against the other. It is highly unlikely a cat would eat a possum, but it might try eating a possum joey. In Australia, possums are at much greater risk from dogs than they are from cats. It is possible, though not likely, that the possum might kill the cat, especially if it is an indoor cat. True possums - those native to Australia - are shy creatures that would rather run from a fight than confront a cat, but they could certainly lash out in self-defence. (Possums are not the same as opossums of North America.)


Is a possum a predator or a prey?

Possums are prey more than predators. True possums are native to Australia and should not be confused with opossums of North America, which are very different creatures. Possums are only predators of insects, or of birds' eggs and young chicks in New Zealand. However, they are prey of pythons, dogs, foxes and quolls.
