The previous home owner left food out for the neighborhood cat.
I did the same up until I came home one night to a family of raccoons on my porch. Anyway, some time later, I decided to clean out my fridge and left some of the foods out. Figured the coons can have it.
The next day, The moment I leave my house, there’s a possum at my feet looking right at me scared shitless before it slowly scurries off. They aren't very fast. That possum was cute as all hell so I’ve been leaving it bread. I see the possum regularly.
