Need Critter Advice

I'm not posting a picture (even though I do have one) of the latest critter that has taken up residence at my home. Everyone knows about "Tiger," the neighborhood cat who adopted us this year. Now we have a Possum (and yes, I know that's formally spelled Opossum, but in Texas we just call them plain old possums.)

So, last week, I noticed that there was a possum eating our cats food on the back porch. YUCK. That was really bad enough, but last night, we looked out on our back porch to check on our cat, and noticed that the possum was casually laying in Tiger's bed on his fluffy pillow!

When we knocked on the window to try to get him to run away, he looked at us like, "What's the problem?"

Seriously, I don't mind adopting a cute stray cat, but an UGLY rodent? I don't think so!

So, how do we get rid of him?
