Praise! I used to have that on a kitchen towel with the Kliban cat strumming a banjo and singing that!

My friend used to work at the Roger Williams Park Zoo in Rhode Island and was the resident "Orphan Possum Momma", even though she was in marketing and group sales. She just has a heart of gold and can't resist little critters. Whenever a real mother possum was accidentally run over and whomever found babies, she would take them home and nurture them until they could be let loose in the wild.

She had to go out of town once so we "possum-sat" for her. My youngest daughter kept it away from the cats in her room and fed it every couple of hours. Young ones are cute and cuddly. He liked to snuggle around the back of her neck, hidden by her hair. Guess it just proves that everything can be cute...when it's a young'un!
