I guess Piper just has to be a Scottish name, lol, but I wasn’t thinking of that when I named my Piper.
One of my twin daughters got bit by a Possum when they were young. Talk about a mean looking face with the teeth bared, the possum is vicious.

No shots. If I recall we killed it and took it to the Health Center and they sent the head off to be tested for rabies.
New gif variation. Lol, you probably have McRat standing on Hillary’s head now.
This is the latest debate I’ve seen!!

Those Scottish wildcats look very much like our house cat (born in a Kansas barn—far away from Scotland). Their faces are different, but the coats are the same.

The low body temperature of a Possum makes it virtually incapable of contracting or transmitting rabies.
Documented cases of rabid possums are almost non-existant.
The theory is that the rabies virus in unable to survive below a certain body temperature.
Some scientist is actually working on rabies treatments using possums.
Possums automatically drool when ‘playing possum’ to simulate death or disease, and people often kill them, mistaking the self-defense drooling for rabies.

They visit our yard all the time. They'll raid the dog's food bowl if we leave it out. Otherwise, they'll eat our figs when they're in season.

If we were to be Blessed with a Presidential candidate who acted in this way toward terrorists, illegal immigration and the Left, he or she would not only get my vote but everything else I could muster in the way of unreserved, enthusiastic support as well.
LOL
Leave it to a Freeper to bring politics into a kitty thread!
