This topic got me thinking.. plus I was bored, so I figured I would do a little research. Here's what I found.

</font>
  • Point 1: When suddenly approached or struck by a sharp blow, opossums will frequently appear to go into shock and with eyes closed will remain motionless for a time, "playing possum"; they will eventually revive and continue on their way.</font>
  • Point 2: Because of their slow and deliberate movements, opossums are easily overcome by many kinds of predators, particularly great horned owls, coyotes, foxs, and bobcats.</font>
I have concluded that a cat would most likely win if it still had all of it's claws and it was accustomed to the outdoors.
