Visitor on the first night of spring

It seems that not only do we have a back-step kitty, 

we also have a back-step possum!

 Terry and I heard a very loud chomping from the direction of the kitchen...our kitties don't usually make that much noise eating. And, lo and behold, there was a possum enjoying our outdoor kitty's dinner!

 Friendly greeting?

 Mouse and Eliot are fascinated!

Looks a bit like an alien, don't you think? :)
