Electric fence with a dawn/dusk timer is what I use for ground predators.Odd thing something was eating a lot of rat poison;later found out that it has no effect on opossums.Havaheart traps or leg holds.
Honestly, that is the only way we ever fed our cats.I found out recently that feeding cats only once or twice a day and removing the food as soon as they are done is much better for their health. It emulates the way that they would naturally eat if hunting for their own food. This method would also eliminate the source of attraction to the possums.
Started this regime with our young cats, they really look forward to breakfast now!
