I had to quit after the first three reasons, lol.

  1. I sleep like shit so that means I can hang out with a nocturnal animal more
  2. possums don’t do much and like to hide
  3. they have cool tail

Not really starting off with any solid reasons for what constitutes “pet” material.

Doesn't get better later. It's basically maximally passive animal. Which is cool and cute but...not really a pet.

TIL an opossum is the mammal equivalent of a pet fish.
