CNN - A real estate agent in Omaha, Nebraska, recently got an unexpected houseguest – a hungry opossum who ate the entire tuxedo chocolate mousse cake she recently bought from Costco.
Kim Doggett walked outside last Sunday to find her chocolate cake on the floor of her back porch, brown paw prints on her new beige couch and a panting opossum lying on top of it.
Now fans have flooded Nebraska Wildlife Rehab, where the opossum was admitted on February 10, with messages of support for the viral “Cake Bandit” who ate an entire Costco cake.
“We’ve all been there, girl,” one person said under the wildlife rescue service’s Facebook post.
“I have also begun to (breathe) heavily after eating an entire cake by myself. Maybe not Costco but it definitely has happened more than once. I get it gurl. I get it,” another commenter said.
Earlier that night, Doggett asked her son to take her homemade peanut butter balls outside to the deck, as their refrigerator was full.
“We just (ran) out of room,” Doggett said. “And in the wintertime, it works out great, because you don’t have to try to slam everything in there. You can set it out on the back deck.”
Upon opening the door, her son quickly shut it and refused to go back out.
“There’s a possum on your couch,” Hayden Doggett, 22, said to her.
His mom didn’t believe him at first.
“I really thought he was messing with me, so I went over and I turned the light on, I opened the door, and I was like, ‘Oh my,’” Kim Doggett said. “And then I was like, ‘Oh, it ate the Costco cake.’ The whole thing almost was sitting on the ground next to the couch.”

I just read this post to my wife and granddaughter. They both liked it a lot. 😄
Opossums also try to run across the road to beat oncoming cars. Just to get to the other side.
So possum and grits for supper?
ping for later
Andy Griffith Show where the fly landed on one of Aunt Bee’s terrible home made pickles.
Barney: “Shoo, fly!” Then “It’s dead.”
I’m probably one of the few that sang that in my head.
/knew that I would make it if I tried….
I remember that one. They had to act like they liked them.
Remember those Alka Seltzer commercials where they said ‘I can’t believe I ate the whole thing ‘?
Nasty critters, but at least they don’t carry rabies.
Back porch visitor?
I’m right there with you, I wore out the grooves in that double LP.
LOL here, THAT was a good one!
[“There’s a possum on your couch,”]
It’s the first place I go after eating an entire cake...
Bobby Kennedy is correct. Our food is poison!
My husband can’t stand possums. I try to remind him that they kill snakes and eat ticks.
But they also eat the cat’s food, and if there was a cake out there, they’d eat that too.
Did she expect it to wash its hands?
Then they bought store bought pickles and ate them all because it was cheating so Clara won her 13th blue ribbon for best pickle. Aunt Bee thought the boys liked her pickles so much she doubled the batch!!
They are natures garbage disposal and will eat anything.
