LOL - Bats are the one thing that freak me out. Years and years ago we had a little cottage on the water. I walked into the living area one morning with a nightgown on and a bat flew out from under an end table and up under my short nightgown. OMG-I thought I was gonna die of a heart attack. How I did not get bitten is still a mystery. My cat about went crazy. lol. xo Diana
I go back and forth trying to decide on hanging a bat house (easier) or building a chimney swift house. I should have my mind made up by... no I won't.
We can never have enough bats for Halloween. On a side note, my father stuck loads of bats on the portico (not sure of the term in English) to spook trick or treaters. It looks gorgeous. I onlyhave two or three.
Hahaha I love how they still can take on Robert Pattison! I will NEVER forgive him for Twilight. Ever. The absolutely adorable kitty with bat wings????????? And butt cheeks? WHAT.
I knew I could count on you for some fantastic Halloween stuff! The smiling bat face made my day! At dusk and dawn, I often see bats flying around our backyard!
I love bats! I like the Spanish name, Murcielago. We have, or had, 18 different species where i live. Some of them are rare and seldom seen. We used to see more bats around here.
If you see a bat on the ground in distress, don't touch it. If it must be moved, use a towel or something. We dont have those big fruit bats around here. Our bats are small.
How they got mixed up with all these memes is beyond me. Respect your local Bats!
The cat and the bat comic got me thinking about the time a bat somehow got in my house. When a bat's wings are folded in, it looks like a mouse or a gerbil or any other kind of small rodent. It also looks like prey to a cat, and, sure enough, my cat managed to corner the bat, who couldn't seem to unfold his wings fast enough. Though bats can be very scary looking when flying about, in this instance I felt kind of sorry for the creature (also, it had been a while since my cat gotten a rabies shot, so I didn't want him to get too close.) I got a bottle of Windex, shooed the cat away, and the sprayed the bat, momentarily disorienting it. With a broom I managed to knock the bat into an old cooler, closed it, ran outside, and let it loose in the woods outside my house. It flew off into the night. My cat was so angry he wouldn't meow at me for days. Incidentally, my cat was black, so the whole sorry chain of events had a definite Halloween feel to it.
One time the cat brought one into the workroom. The doors were open, here she comes with a bat in her mouth, all proud of herself. The little bat was screaming. Keeters No!!!
I took it out of her mouth and threw it back out the doors. I wasn't thinking. We are taught not to touch them. Immediately washed my hands. I couldn't tell if it bit me, there was no blood.
The next day i called my neighbor, who is a wildlife biologist. He said i need to go get the rabies shots. So i did. They are not a big deal, but they come in a series.
I wasn't worried about the cat, she was "legal" and vaccinated. Yes, she was pissed off at me.
Late, I know. Who knew Bats had butt checks? LOL. If I had that figure I might wear that Bat dress all the time. But my favorite is the Bat castle. I would truly do this if I had a yard.
Bats, bats, and more bats! These fascinating creatures never cease to amaze me. From their unique ability to fly gracefully in the night sky to their important role in maintaining the ecosystem, bats are truly incredible.
I could have gone my whole life without seeing bat butt cheeks!
ReplyDeleteThe Robert Patterson one had me cracking up! I wouldn't be nice to be able to explode into a bunch of bats to leave the situation?
ReplyDeleteThere are times when becoming a thousand bats would be handy.
ReplyDeletei often feel like exploding into a thousand bats but i just can't make it happen. such a disappointment.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I could like about bats would be if I could explode into them.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Grab a bat!!

ReplyDeleteDemetri turning into a cat was too cute but, like Bob, I could have gone my whole life content with not seeing bat butt cheeks.
ReplyDeleteI go back and forth trying to decide on hanging a bat house (easier) or building a chimney swift house. I should have my mind made up by... no I won't.
ReplyDeleteButt Cheeks! The best...
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what I need! The ability to explode into a thousand bats.

ReplyDeleteWe have a bat house, but not in the shape of a castle.
ReplyDeleteBat butt cheeks. I'M DEAD!
I love all of these bats.
ReplyDeleteButt cheeks?! I had no idea!

I love bats! I used to keep a bat-house when I lived in chicago. Alas, no customers.
ReplyDeleteOne of the few times when an animals arse is prettier than its face.
ReplyDeletenow I want to go as bat buttcheeks for halloween.
ReplyDeleteI definitely don't want to see one in real life
ReplyDeleteOh please, aren't you a little bit curious about bats?
DeleteOMG on the Robert taking 14 years to become a bat!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat can I say, Debra! You continue to amaze me with your hilarious finds!
ReplyDeleteThe Phillies could use a vampire or two to help them out right now.
