Dressed in wedding gowns and bikinis -
their eyes fixed, jaws stiffened and bodies frozen in time - you might
be forgiven for thinking you had stumbled on to a taxidermist fancy
dress convention.
However,
these furry corpses formed part of a display at a school in New Zealand
which held a bizarre best-dressed dead possum competition as part of a
fundraising day.
Children
let their imaginations run wild when they dressed the dead animals in
all their finery for the contest at Uruti School on New Zealand's North
Island.
Our current kitties, Bandit, Romeo, and Rusty are not allowed outside, unless it's on the second level deck or balcony.
We've had cats in the past though, who considered themselves mighty hunters and have brought "friends" inside to play with. We've had chipmunks, moles, birds, and mice. In all those years, we were never fortunate enough to have baby opossums ... so I really enjoyed reading Vicky Walker's very enjoyable story at Catster, "Look What the Cat Dragged In: In My Case, a Houseful of Baby Possums"
Germany's celebrity cross-eyed opossum Heidi has been recruited by Hollywood to predict winners of the Academy Awards on U.S. television.
The opossum will appear from her home in Leipzig, Germany, on the "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" show on channel ABC, which also broadcasts the Oscars.
