Of the many animals we โ€˜relate to on a spiritual level,โ€™ the opossum might not be the first critter that will come to mind. However, thousands of fans have taken a love to a new marsupial โ€œinternet superstarโ€: a chocoholic opossum that devoured โ€œan entire Costco cake.โ€ Nebraska woman Kim Doggett came home to a peculiar surprise after discovering a chubby, panting opossum lying on her new couch. It was out of breath because it had eaten almost all of her recently purchased tuxedo chocolate mousse cake.

โ€œThereโ€™s a opossum on your couch,โ€ Doggettโ€™s son said to his mom after they arrived home. โ€œI really thought he was messing with me,โ€ she said in disbelief. โ€œSo I went over, and I turned the light on, I opened the door, and I was like, โ€˜Oh my.'โ€ Their fridge had apparently run out of room, so Doggett had her son place their homemade peanut butter balls, likely along with the chocolate cake. The critter โ€œwas panting a lot, however mobile and alert;โ€ yet the Nebraska woman and her son werenโ€™t able to shoo the intruder out of their home. Eventually, they called the American Humane Society, after which the opossum was transported to the Nebraska Wildlife Rehab.

โ€œOur opossum patient has become an internet superstar,โ€ the rehab center happily posted to Facebook. After being admitted and hospitalized, the opossum became a viral sensation, with thousands of fans labeling it the โ€œcake banditโ€ and showing overwhelming love and support for the pudgy critter. โ€œIt appears that she was lucky to have been caught red-handed,โ€ Nebraska Wildlife Rehab told CNN. Thanks to its thievery of the Costco cake, it was โ€œdiagnosed with what can become a fatal condition in wildlifeโ€ and promptly treated, the rehabโ€™s executive director said.
