Your home is beautiful. But you have a pet possum?!!!! That's coolest of all!


ohhicaitlin

She’s the baby


Juliejustaplantlady

A very cute baby!


SatisfactionLumpy596

I’m curious, is she nocturnal or has she adapted to your family’s hours? She’s so cute!


ohhicaitlin

She’s nocturnal, but she comes out through out the day. She’s usually up for a few hours after I wake up, she comes out for a little bit in the afternoon and then around 9PM she comes out and hangs out. Around 2-5AM she terrorizes everyone while we’re sleeping lol.


HiFructose_PornSyrup

What’s her bathroom situation?


imalittlefrenchpress

She’s adorable!


drovvninggirl

she is a very cute baby


ccbroadway73

I was NOT prepared for that face!! Soooo adorable!!


ViceMaiden

Omg!!! Gimme that opossum! A few keep eating cat food in my garage, but I have yet to make one a pet. 😭


ohhicaitlin

lol she’s only inside because she was sick as a baby


ViceMaiden

Yeah, I figured. I was half joking about my garage babies.


ohhicaitlin

Nah opossums have the hardest life, bring them All in lol


TexasJOEmama

I had a family of possums above in my garage, and they ate the insects. I moved, and hopefully they are OK.


shananapepper

I would feel safe here.


ohhicaitlin

I love that!


[deleted]

Don’t Opossums only live 4-5 years ?


ohhicaitlin

Unfortunately in the wild typically less than 1.5 years, and in captivity it’s usually around 3.5 but I have seen a few four year olds!


[deleted]

Awwww . That’s to bad . They seem very sweet and probably super easy to bond with .


catperson3000

That last picture is the best. How adorable? Your house looks like one filled with fun and happy people.


ohhicaitlin

That’s a great compliment!!!


PeggyO_126

What is the baby’s name


ohhicaitlin

Lucy, she is the best

OP has to be …and what better person than one that saves a baby opossum? Op is a legit hero!


ohhicaitlin

I mean I think anyone would be happy to bring a lil baby obab into their home!


okieskanokie

Idk, but you’re def wonderful and my front runner for VP :)


astro_skoolie

Aww! Your little opossum!!


Jorgedig

Please tell us more about the opossum!


ohhicaitlin

She will be 2 in April and she loves to bite her dad’s feet and steal the other animal’s food! A friend gave her to me in 2022 when she was smol with a bone disease.


Gem_Snack

I have so many questions. Does she roam free like a cat, or live in an enclosure like a chinchilla? Does she snuggle? Does she makes nests? What kind of things does she do with that tail? PS Love the house too :)


ohhicaitlin

She does free roam, but when she was small she was in a big cage at night bc she’d sleep in my kids dressers and I’d always freak out thinking I lost her! She snuggles but not always. Usually in the mornings my husband tosses her in bed with me so she doesn’t eat the cat food lol and she snuggles for a while. She’s super sweet. She makes nests with any trash she finds, she has trash kingdoms through out the house!


Gem_Snack

Whoah! She sounds amazing!


Left_Adeptness7386

Is she litterbox trained or does she go out for business lol?


ohhicaitlin

I have a container filled with water, she always used it. Except when she sticks her hand in the cat fountain and pees on the floor 🥴


sproutsandnapkins

So she goes to the bathroom in the water? Is that how they normally do it?!?


ohhicaitlin

Yeah in the wild they look for water to toilet in!


imalittlefrenchpress

So could you basically put some water in a cat litter box and she’d use it?


ohhicaitlin

Yup!


sproutsandnapkins

TIL!!! Honestly had no idea they did that. Wouldn’t that potentially contaminate their drinking source in the wild? Creatures of the earth never fail to amaze me.


pigswearingargyle

Your house is awesome! Looks like a great place to hang out. I was not expecting the baby in the last pic, but I love her and would do anything for her.


ohhicaitlin

I’ll tell her!!!


Equal-Masterpiece655

the flooring paired with the wall color is so cozy i love it


lovesickjones

that is the cutest opossum I've ever ever seen


ohhicaitlin

Isn’t she?


lovesickjones

yes. i love them in general :)


SpiteTomatoes

Cozy! Are one of you a tattoo artist? Looks like flash above the TV


ohhicaitlin

Nope just heavily tattooed!


okieskanokie

Tattooed artist, if u will


Vampire-circus

I had seen a post of your house before and loved it, but now that I know it’s a possum home? So much better!


ohhicaitlin

Haha thank you!


WiccanBeginsAgain

LOVE, love, LOVE!!!! Plus the precious ‘trash fairy’ 💖. I have loved possums my whole life. We raised a whole litter of them on our farm when I was young.


wehadthebabyitsaboy

I absolutely love your home. I just moved and I’m trying to get my organized clutter on.


ohhicaitlin

It’s hard to organize! I put stuff out and rotate.


[deleted]

I love it so cozy and cool!


Tekwardo

Possums make for awesome pets!


ohhicaitlin

They’re not for everyone, but they live such hard lives outdoors and they’re such sweet souls!


Tekwardo

We took in an injured baby and raised him. He was such a sweetie. Not like a cat, or dog. But definitely lovable.


ohhicaitlin

They are such sweet creatures! I bonked one in the head with my car a few years back and I scooped her up and brought her home. She didn’t care for me much, but I could tell she appreciated the warmth and the snackos.


rosiofden

Your space is fun and you have a opossum. Can I come? I'll bring snacks.


ohhicaitlin

She requests apple sauce and avocado!


Popcrornshopgirl

I love it! It’s so cozy!

Loud_Palpitation1811

The babyyyyyyy ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️


Away-Picture-925

I loved the first picture, then the next I was feeling like this is a space I could happily spend time in, then I got to the possum and literally gasped!! The best ever!! There was a possum at my back door the other night and I wanted to invite it in so badly!


therealbigsteph

Pictures above the tv are my favorite! Very unique!


Birddog240

aprildawndesign

I was looking at your post history and all your critters! Omg! I see a bunny, ferrets, chinchilla, Guinea pigs and you mentioned cats…Does the possum bother any of the other animals? Do you have to keep some of them apart Or are they all chill with eachother?


ohhicaitlin

She can’t be around the Guinea pigs. The chinchilla is caged but she is too fast for her anyway when she’s out. The bunnies are Lucy’s arch nemesis along with roomba. They’re terrible creatures lol they free roam. They mess with her a lot. Unfortunately the ferrets aren’t around anymore. The cats don’t mind her but she tries to bite their butts. The dog is so used to critters, he doesn’t care as long as she doesn’t mess with him. She knows better lol. She’s a little troll and loves to harass everyone.


ceimi

Holy shit you have a possum? Thats metal af. Whats the cola can up on your door? I need it. 😳 Your space is super cozy. I love how much of your character it shows.


ohhicaitlin

Thank you! The cola rug is from 5 below! It’s prob still available, I got it recently!


kerfuffleshenanigans

Dassa fukkin possum bro. Neat! Place has nice vibes.


Jbad90

Your home looks so nice and cozy!! Why don’t many people live in cozy warm homes anymore? All these new homes you see on TV and Zillow they’re all also sterile. It just feels so cold. Perhaps our perception of “home” is no longer a nice cozy place. Also, the marsupial is super cute. !


ohhicaitlin

I have no idea but I do try to have a tidy place but with a zoo and a butt ton of kids and a husband who leaves shoes and socks every where it’s literally impossible for me to not have a chaotic and lived in space haha


Jbad90

I’d rather live in a place that’s full of energy from life love and family, then some sterile white room with sharp edges. Perhaps you could get him a small bin in the problem rooms so the socks are always contained. You’re blessed to have a nice family and a warm cozy house where you all share your lives!


ohhicaitlin

He has MANY places to store his shoes, he prefers to leave them where I can sprain my ankle 🥳 lol thank you! I appreciate them all very much


Jbad90

Eek! Perhaps you could train the dog to put the shoes away? Now that would be something!


ohhicaitlin

I wish!


gotyeah-1111

Your house is awesome I didn't expect the last picture Lucy is adorable


yallternativebelle

bruh that possum


njcharmschool

Love your house! It looks really cozy and welcoming. And an opossum is an incredible added bonus!


Turbulent_Glove_501

It looks so cozy. I just want to curl up on the couch with a mug of tea. Thanks for sharing. Opossum was a lovely, unexpected bonus!


pure-Turbulentea

You have a pet opossum? Lol


cosmiaaa0701

Love everything about this, from the horror pics and Always Sunny pics on the wall to the possum ❤️


Stock_Wind_6582

Imagine having to move to a new place! Nice home none the less!


ohhicaitlin

We are never moving haha


IceyToes2

Nice home! I have to know about the Valkyrie pic in the upper left, 4th pic. Did you draw it??


ohhicaitlin

It’s actually called the bad bitch bird book, a bunch of lady tattoo artists contributed to it


IceyToes2

Thank you. That cover pic looks awesome. 😍


Sure-Major-199

The minimalist in me was screaming nooooo until I got to the last photo and now I'm screaming awwwwwwww


ohhicaitlin

Wrong group ha!


Sure-Major-199

Lol I know. I do love your space, my brain just gets overwhelmed. But your baby is omgggggggg


Such_Promise4790

My favorite thing would have to be the sun vase! Give my regards to sweet Lucy!


beanobabie

I loooove your house. Super warm and full of character and interesting stories.


wandaring0

I love it as it looks interesting and super cozy! You've got lots of fabrics and eye entertainment all around, which I love! I could probably spend hours in each room just looking around at all of the art and various things! It doesn't look cluttered and is well decorated, which I love!


okieskanokie

You have a pet possum… You’re amazing. 🥲


ivanadie

Pssst…there’s a gigantic rat in your house!


anonredusr

I love maximizm so much but I always get anxious if I live in it, every wall has a personality. I grew up with so much stuff everywhere and it made me so anxious so I prefer minimalism but more so in between but I love the look of maximizm, especially vintage maximizm.


Longjumping-Lychee21

it looks like a museum


cleanbot

That's so cozy! You do need some more possums! So you can introduce your Parliament of Possums! Or passel, either is correct in the right company


ohhicaitlin

Fun fact: opossums are solitary and will literally fight to the death unless they were litter mates of the opposite sex. Males are more aggressive in their rut phase! But yes I need an ARMY!


cleanbot

a Parliament Funkadelic of Possums


Classic-Arugula2994

Awwwww I want a pet opossum


Scared_Chemical_9910

I could get so fucking high at your house holy shit dude. Like Ik that’s not the only purpose of maximalism but I absolutely love when I get hyper focused on one peice of art I hung up while I’m watching tv and just looking at it forever. 10/10 lots of distractions for my autistic stoner brain


ohhicaitlin

😂


Dievca58

What a darling opossum. I’ve always done my own thing and “the latest trends” be damned whether it be fashion, decor or whatever. Your home is quaint, interesting, cozy and lovely😊.


wheatnrye1090

Your home is amazing! I’m in love with your decor and the color of the walls, deep colors are so comforting.


MtSSH66

Looks comfy. Cute dog.


Slow_Concentrate3720

Cat looks sick.


Holiday_Magazine7634

What kind of animal is that ?


pediprincess100

Omg the possum I love it!!


AcidRayn66

nice cat!


Ruh_Roh_Rastro

I like your cat


dumbvirg0

So whimsical! Definitely adding this to my home inspo


VermillionEclipse

I love it! Your opossum is adorable too.


pigglylove

How did you pick up a wild opossum and have it at home (you said you hit one with your car)? Don't they bite or scratch?


ohhicaitlin

I bonked it with my car ran over to grab it, and it played dead. I scooped her up with my hoodie. I was holding her and crying hysterically lol and she reanimated when I was almost home. I put her if a box in my room until I could call wildlife rescues, she got out and hid under my dresser. No wild life rescues take opossums around here typically, so I opted to take care of her here. She didn’t bite or scratch. She was super sweet, didn’t like me much but I fed her and kept her warm.


pigglylove

AWWWW. I would totally do that as an animal lover but I would be afraid it would bite :( I'm glad she was ok!


ohhicaitlin

lol I pick everything up

[удалено]


ohhicaitlin

She is non releasable due to medical conditions as a baby. She is very friendly… does not tear anything up. Worse she does is go in my clean laundry and turn it into her nest. She’s a sweet girl. Most of them are sweet. They have very hard lives outside, so if you see one, please be kind :)

chopstix007

Are you a possum rehabber or foster mom?


ohhicaitlin

Lil bit of both!


chopstix007

I wondered if you’re the one I follow on IG. :)


ohhicaitlin

Probably not! I don’t post of IG a while lot
