If you have a house cat that loves to roam at night, are possums actually a real threat to them? The good news is that possums and cats generally try to avoid one another because possums aren't naturally aggressive and don't view cats as prey. In this video, we explore the two main scenarios where danger arises—including fierce fights with razor-sharp teeth if a cat corners them, and the silent threat of transmitted diseases, parasites, and leptospirosis through shared food or water bowls. What you will learn:The Avoidance Habit: Why possums and cats generally ignore each other since possums don't view cats as prey. The Cornered Fight Hazard: How defending a nest or getting cornered leads possums to use razor-sharp teeth and claws to inflict severe wounds. The Silent Disease Risk: How shared food and water bowls can spread dangerous parasites like ticks, fleas, and leptospirosis to your pets.
