alright, it's the battle of the century, folks... who would win in the epic battle of Cat v. Opossum?

I've gotta give it to the opossum. It's a wild animal. It can't be tamed.

The cat would tear shit up, their faster, more agile, and in some cases meaner. Also they are a predator as opposed to the opossum who eats... well i don't really know.
The opossum would play dead until it would become a reality.

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.

The winner of this voting should be the animal lifted into the air at the balloon gala.

I say the loser is lifted...because I'd rather see the opossum lifted...and that way they're fighting for their life.

yeah, so I actually saw this go down last night... the fracas started when a opossum was rambling through the neighbor's yard and a cat lunged at it from under the said neighbor's van... the opossum took off like a bitch (not laying down and playing 'opossum' as one would think). I, immediately, hopped into my car in hopes of following the action, but much to my dismay the cat quickly gave up chase and the opossum disappeared into the night.

the cat was clearly the victor.
