    Staff: What are you doing here?

    Possum: Fuck you, I’m a cat! Feed me!

    Staff: Okay then, let’s hear you meow.

    Possum: Hiss! See? I’m a fucking cat! Feed me!

    Staff: That wasn’t a meow.

    Possum: Cats hiss! Now feed me, damnit!

    Staff: Aren’t you a little young to be swearing?

    Possum: Cats are born knowing how to swear! Now feed me motherfucker, or I’ll trash your kitchen!

    That’s clearly a siamese kitten. Return him to his family posthaste.

      He’ll grow into them…or he won’t, but he’ll be a beautiful boy either way ♥️

      Edit: realised that Jasper is an asexual name 🤦

      Edit 2: where the FUCK did I get Jasper from?

      Yeah, they’re really cute. The black fingernails are a nice touch, too.

    I’ve heard that raccoons can be domesticated in the US, is it the same for these critters too?

      I’ve heard occasional stories of people with pet raccoons, but also have read stories of pet raccoons eating a baby’s appendages off. As with all pets, not to be left unattended with small children.

      You mean legally or factually, for the most part you have to have a license or be part of a wildlife rescue type group. Yes they can be quite tame though, same with any animal although domesticated is technically different.

        Factually, just genuinely curious if it’s possible and/or somewhat common.

          From what I understand… technically yes, especially if they’re found young. But they do have a tendency of getting meaner/wilder when they reach maturity.

    Not surprised a cat would do this. They seem to have a knack for adopting other species

          😂 Noice. Now it’s double badger badger badger. I remembered it so well cause I played Kingdom of Loathing back in the day and the Badger was one of the special pets of the month. They would give you mushroom after a fight and then you can go trip and adventure in special place for extra meat and items…I’m old.

          Anyone into KoL and haven’t played West of Loathing should check it out. I need to buy the Shadows of Loathing sequel myself.
