Not such a sweetie

We had a cute little baby possum brought in today. Well, it was cute, until you tried to touch it, when it hissed like a rattlesnake and attempted to savage anything that came near it. I quickly pronounced it "fine" and the wildlife carers were called. I asked the woman who brought it in where she'd found it.
"Attached to the cat's neck," she replied, "by it's teeth!"
That poor cat must have go the fright of its nine lives when this seemingly innocuous "mouse" turned into a tiny toothed terror! I had to laugh.
