Bringing old homes up to scratch is nothing out of the ordinary for property renovators Andrew and George Hartley,

We found a possum like that in the attack of our pony shed.

That’s a way bigger cat than just a housecat.
Otherwise it’d be in the house, snacking in the kitchen rather than hiding out in the attic. Looks like an eastern Bobcat.

And she doesn’t look like an ‘Andrew’ or ‘George’, either.

Agreed.
Hopefully tho, it had a long life, and just laid down, and went to sleep.
