Nature Friday - A Nighttime Visitor - by Styx with a dramatic re-creation

 Hi friends, hi friends,

We have a very exciting night here recently.

First the power flickered for no reason. So Man got up to unplug the things that were set off by a power outage.  He had just gotten back to bed when he heard us hunting. He got up again and next thing you knew the lights were coming on and the Man was yelling. The Man then ran to the bedroom to get an old t-shirt. You see, there was a bat in the house. The bat had been on the dining room floor. The Man wanted the t-shirt to grab the bat in. 

By the time he got back to the dining room, the bat was gone, Tigris was hiding and Lady was awake and confused. 

Man and I went on a bat hunt.

A dramatic recreation


It didn't take long before I spotted it, hanging near Angel Lee and Phod's pictures. The Man quickly wrapped it in the t-shirt, and made his way to the front door. The Lady grabbed me so I couldn't go out while Man tossed the bat and t-shirt outside.  In the morning the bat was gone, so we hope it flew away.

I get to have so many wildlife adventures in this house, maybe it is almost as good as getting to be outside. 

your pal, Styx-Man, the Bat Hunter

  2. That was very exciting and a bit scary at the same time. You are very brave and smart to point out the bat so the Man could get it out of the house.

  3. EEEK! We are so glad the Man captured the bat and got him outside. We used to have them come down the chimney until a screen was installed on the chimney top and it fixed the problem. Now to find out how your bat got inside!

  11. What an exciting event! Kozmo was telling me (Marvelous) that Mom did the tshirt thing with a bat years ago before there was a cat door in the screen. Mom would leave the door open enough during the evening to let us cats get in and out and one night, a bat got in flying up by the top of the door. Mom said she did not know who was more scared, the bat or her!
    Happy anniversary to your Peeps! Keep being awesome! Marvelous Marv
