Possums do NOT eat kittens. Possums are omnivores - they eat carrion, worms, eggs, snails, insects, snakes, crayfish, toads, salamanders, mice, birds, slugs, fruits, vegetables, and garbage. ~ Hexedgirl92

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.)


How do opussum protect themselves and what body part?

The phrase "Playing 'Possum" comes from the opossum's way of protecting themselves. Playing possum means to play dead. A 'possum will lay still in hopes an animal will not attack it since it's dead (many animals won't eat prey unless they catch it alive). While playing dead, a possum will secrete really bad smelling fluid from it's anal glands.


How does possum defend itself?

the possum is quite a small animal therefore, you would think it was easy prey. not so fast! this petite rodent knows how its predators think! who wants to eat a dead animal lying on the dirty ground? not me! that is exactly what the predator thinks when he sees that "dead" possum on the ground. i think you can guess the rodent's sneaky defense by now! it plays dead!


How do you determine if a possum is playing dead?

To determine if a possum is playing dead, observe its body closely for signs of breathing or movement. A possum that is truly playing dead will remain still and limp, with its eyes closed and tongue hanging out. Additionally, a possum playing dead may emit a foul odor as a defense mechanism.


How can you tell if a possum is playing dead or actually dead?

To determine if a possum is playing dead or actually dead, you can observe for signs of breathing or movement. If the possum is playing dead, it may still show subtle signs of life such as shallow breathing or twitching. If there are no signs of life, the possum may be actually dead. It is important to approach with caution and seek help from a wildlife expert if unsure.
