Characteristics

Opossums are marsupial mammals, who grow up to the size of a house cat. Their physical features are similar to that of a domestic cat but have a sharply pointed nose making them different from the cats. Probably, this was why the grandmother mistook the animal for something it wasn’t. However, she wasn’t the only one to make this mistake.

Sharing The Tale

Eric was so amused by this confusion that he shared the entire incident over his Facebook profile. People reacted with laughing emoticon and shared his post like crazy. However, Eric did not expect that there were numerous comments like the ones which followed his post. What were these comments?

Me Too

One of the commenters said that he mistook a possum for his dog just because it was the same color as that of the pet he owned. Probably these opossums are mischievous creatures who play well with humans.

Another Name

Eric’s grandparent wasn’t the only lady to name a possum. There were others as well who named some wild animals and disagreed to accept that the cat they named could be something other than a cat.

Are They Cute?

Well after reading this comment, anyone would begin to adore a possum. Just imagining the situation of two possums on a date is so cute and funny at the same time. Yet, what the next comment read had us bothered.

Oops

Not only a possum is mistaken for a cat, but this old lady had her game up with a skunk as well.  Unfortunately, the old woman realized it quite a little late. As the cats don’t bite but this one did. Poor lady.
