Do Oposems attack cats?

Question

My cat got attacked but we don't know what attacked it. We think it's a oposem.

Answer 1

They definately do. They also carry rabies, so make sure you get your cat tested, even if he/she is current on vaccinations. Remember that is a fatal disease.

Answer 2

Yes they can. I had a cat that would step aside and let a raccoon eat the food and the cat would do the same thing with a oposem

Answer 3

Yes they will attack..If your cat { or dog } should corner on e they will attack and they can infflick alot of damage. Raccoons are the same way only worse.

Answer 4

Possible...If they had babies and thought the cat was a threat to them...a parent might attack...I believe this is the time of year many animals give birth

Answer 5

Yes, a possum might well attack a domestic cat that gets too close - possums are wild animals and have cause to fear domestic pets. You'd do well to take your cat to the vet - the possum could have had rabies.

Answer 6

Opossums are docile creatures, and do NOT resort to aggression. It's highly unlikely that your cat was attacked by one.

More likely that he/she was attacked by another cat, or maybe a young raccoon.

Answer 7

Yes and so will a raccoon in fact a raccoon will lure a cat or dog to water and drown them.

Answer 8

opposums can attack but so cant skunks, raccoons, and many other cats...without seeing what did it you cant really tell...

Answer 9

It could be alot of things....Might be they are mean if a pet gets by them

Answer 10

Probably, if it felt it was in competition for food
