A real estate agent in Omaha, Nebraska, got an unexpected houseguest this week – a hungry opossum who ate the Tuxedo Chocolate Mousse Cake she recently bought from Costco.
A real estate agent in Omaha, Nebraska, recently got an unexpected houseguest – a hungry opossum who ate the entire tuxedo chocolate mousse cake she recently bought from Costco. Kim Doggett walked outside last Sunday to find her chocolate cake on the floor of her back porch, brown paw prints on her new beige couch and a panting opossum lying on top of it. Now fans have flooded Nebraska Wildlife Rehab, where the opossum was admitted on February 10, with messages of support for the viral “Cake Bandit” who ate an entire Costco cake. “We’ve all been there, girl,” one person said under the wildlife rescue service’s Facebook post. “I have also begun to (breathe) heavily after eating an entire cake by myself. Maybe not Costco but it definitely has happened more than once. I get it gurl. I get it,” another commenter said. Earlier that night, Doggett asked her son to take her homemade peanut butter balls outside to the deck, as their refrigerator was full.
