Trending Now - Sneaky Possum Tricks Grandma Into Taking Care Of Him For Months, Until Her Grandson Sees The Mistake

When Eric Hertlein went to visit his grandma at her Kansas home not long ago, he knew to expect several stray cats on her front porch, where she would always let them hang out. This time, however, one of these kitties was not like the others. Upon closer inspection, in fact, it wasn’t a cat at all.

Without even knowing, Eric’s grandma had been caring for a small opossum the entire time. “She reassured me it was one of her cats,” he told The Dodo. “I told her it wasn’t what she thought it was.” The sweet woman even named him Tete, and though she was shocked to realize the truth, she didn’t mind too much at all. “Well, he hasn’t bothered me yet, so I’m OK with him being here!” she reportedly exclaimed.

Eric also found out that Tete had been sleeping outside his grandmother’s door since he was just a baby, meaning he could have been orphaned. Regardless of what circumstances led Tete to the warm and cozy cat bed he now occupies, it seems to be a beneficial relationship for all involved. Scroll down to see it for yourself!
