I got a funny story about cats....I had a buddy from Missouri in my early Army days that used to tell stories of back on the farm. This one story he told me was about his dad telling his brother to "take car of the kittens". This usually entails drowning them in a creek or a horse trough (to my understanding). Anyways, the little brother gathers all the kittens up in a pillow sack, ties it from a tree limb, and shoots it with a 12 gauge. When asked why he did it that way, he said " it was faster and only used a couple rounds". I am sure possum is like the little brother in this story.
My wifes grandmother threw her kitten out of a tree and smashed it with a table trying to kill it so she could see it come back to life. She was disappointed when she succeeded and then realized 9 lives is just an expression.
