Wife has several wild cats that live out in the barn that she feeds.. Last month i found a possum dead, in the barn, about the same size as the biggest cat.... Yesterday i found another dead possum... I knew a cat would kill a little possum, but these two were about the same size as a good size cat !

Turf war. How's the mouse situation. Don't let Mamma's kind heart overfeed them.

I walked into the barn one day as 3 barn cats were taking turns ganging up on a very large muskrat. They seamed to be having fun so I just let them kill it. Every time tha poor muskrat would turn to face its attacker two other cat would strike from behind. Found a dead small raccoon in the barn one morning. But the cat were smart enough to to not take on the skunk. When I walked in that morning 5 cats were standing about 6' away from the skunk watching it eat their food.

no mouse at our house. Didnt know if the possum was trying to get the cat food, or he was lunch himself ?

Usually at the farm, it's the other way around, possum killing cats. Small cats.
