[Los Feliz Slim]

Possum can be really vicious. They're all over the place in So Cal. My neighbor was once sitting on her bed (studio apartment) reading and listening to her cat eat her cat food on the other side of the room. Then she looked at the chair next to her bed, and her cat was happily sleeping. So she looks across the room and there's an enormous possum sitting there, chowing down. She jumps up and the thing runs AT her and ends up chasing her out of the apartment (which was basically in my backyard). It was hysterical.
