Do cats and opossums get along?

In general, cats and opossums do not get along well. Cats are natural predators of opossums, and opossums are known to be aggressive when cornered. If you have a cat and an opossum living in close proximity to each other, it is important to take precautions to prevent conflict between the two animals.

Here are some tips for preventing conflict between cats and opossums:

* Keep your cat indoors. This is the best way to prevent your cat from coming into contact with an opossum.

* If you must let your cat outdoors, supervise them at all times. This will allow you to intervene if your cat and an opossum come into contact with each other.

* Remove any potential food sources that could attract opossums to your property. This includes garbage, pet food, and birdseed.

* Seal any holes or gaps in your home that could allow an opossum to enter.

* If you find an opossum on your property, try to scare it away by making noise or throwing water at it. Do not approach the opossum or attempt to handle it.

If you are concerned about conflict between cats and opossums, you should contact your local animal control agency. They can provide you with additional advice and guidance on how to keep your pets safe.
