Obso:

Somewhere about midnight Koko noticed what she took to be a strange cat filching a meal from the food dishes left on the screened porch for the 3 cats for which the meal was intended.

She wrapped upon the glass of the sliding door separating the sofas from 90% humidity only to find that the startled animal was not indeed a strange cat but a strange opossum. The bewildered animal, mouth full of masticated fancy feast, ran from his impromptu dinner straight into the pool.

After several spastic laps, and empting his bowels in the shallow end of the pool, the opossum was landed by my father with the aid of a large net on the end of a stick.

"opossum poop in the pool" yielded no results.

Those are some of the creapiest animals that can show up in your pool, I think I'd rather a gator. Coco, I'm sorry you had to experience that. I didn't even know oppossums could swim! Ew

I'm surprised Gremlin wasn't guarding the pool deck more vigilantly. I bet she would have loved to slap an opossum around!

Is that a Google-generated opossum in the pool, or a genuine pic of your opossum in your pool? If you start to say "oppossum in the pool" several times real fast, before you know it, you're singing it to the tune of "The Farmer in the Dell." Fun!
