A very well-fed, high maintenace possum, I would say!

Katz, whose neighboring possums have never had salmon

Guess I don't understand what's so funny.  The possums, who tend to hang
around for quite a few months before wandering on, rarely miss an evening.  
They're always given the cats' rejected food for the day - certainly a lot
better than putting the food down the garbage disposal.  I do have a fondness
for them.

I've told the story before, but a few years ago I had a possum who discovered
that the food inside was better than the food left for him outside.  He tought
himself to pull open the sliding screen door and would help himself to the
food every evening after I went to bed.  I'd hear the noisy munching, wait for
him to leave - he never would close the door when he left - and I'd get up and
close the door.  He got to be a pretty healthy sized (and healthy) possum; I
named him Goodyear in honor of his appearance.  I have only one picture of
him eating inside, near the bottom of my cats page
(http://members.cox.net/mybrainhurts/cats.htm ).

Simple recipe (the only kind I do!):
Put salmon steak in glass baking dish. Cover dish with plastic wrap.
Microwave on high, 6 minutes per pound.  Delicious!
