Sorry, don't know about bobbies.  I can tell you, though, if you want to make a domestic cat lose its mind, put it in a pet crate you've used to transport a few possums!

Im sure your heart was pumpin seeing that door shut.  Keep at it, cant wait to see some success pics.  I have been on trapperman drooling at all the cat pics.  One guy caught a full grown cougar and had to release it.      Luckily it pulled out after it saw him approaching and he didnt have to do the catch pole rodeo.

Honestly I used to LOVE catching possums.  I like their winter time fur.  We used to get $4-$10 a hide for them in the 70s.  I was never disappointed when I heard the chain rattling in the dark, it was always better then not catching anything at all.

Ive never seen one that far in the woods,he was damn near white.But will he be good bait

Don't think it'll be much good for bait.  The ones I've dumped always were left untouched or pretty much untouched.  Same for any member of the weasel family.  I'll have some beaver traps out the week after Christmas and will see what I can do for bait for you.

Only thing I have ever seen eat an opossum is another opossum.
