Breaking
In brief (as typing slow/painful).
Possum: 1
KA: -1
Minus one soup-pot, that is. It broke in the struggle. Struggle between me and possum, which had again fallen into the kitchen cupboard from behind the oven. This time, however, I did not escape unscathed when I attempted to remove it; it scratched and bit me, and my hand is quite sore. And gouged.
Soup pot was pyrex, lay in glassy pieces on the floor. Possum ran into my bedroom. I opened the front door and hid in bathroom with band-aids, and I think the possum left at that point. Then I slowly and tearily cleaned up the mess. (sigh)

Is there any way the RSPCA can help with the critter?
We have a pair of welders gloves that we use to handle the local wildlife/ stray cats that need our aid. If the possum invasion is a frequent occurrence I'd suggest youinvest in a pair. It would come in handy for metal working too.

You have to pay someone $$ to get rid of your possums. They like living in people's roofs. (see reply above)
