Generally you don't have to worry about cats and possums. A possum won't attack unless it is cornered and your average cat will have more than enough sense to not go after one.
Dogs and possums are the real problem since dogs are the stupid. Growing up ours would always corner them and be just smart enough to not actually attack. We just shoot the possum (they killed our chickens to get at the eggs).
My dog had a really good possums story involving the trunk of a car, a pissed of possum, a big wrench, and an absolute refusal to die.
