OK, I went to bed and was watching TV and something flew over my bed. I thought it was a big moth till I looked up and Yikes!! It was a freakin' bat. I've been hearing this stampeding noise in my ceiling lately around dark. Thought it was squirrels (never gave bats a thought). Yea, well, now I know what's making all that noise. I threw my comforter over me and crawled downstairs on my hands and knees backward (it was going upstairs, circling, going downstairs, circling, over and over). It actually flew into the back of my head. I turned on all the lights, opened a door and went back up to don some "Bat Chasing" duds. Now, I have 2 cats who are just staring at me. I put on jeans, 2 shirts, tie an apron around my face throw a blanket around me, grab a golf club and a tennis racquet and off I go to hunt that bugger. Thank goodness my one cat was staring at the ceiling. She was watching him. I tried to pry him loose with my golf club but he fought it and started flying again. Found him in another room and tried to pry him loose again. Almost had him (they can really hang onto a wall) but he flew to the top of a window and was crawling along it. Went to get my camera to take a movie, got back and he was gone. Now I can't find the little bugger. The cat was staring at a spot in the ceiling where he could have gotten into a hole and got back to his colony. I sure hope so, cause I want to go to bed. I can still hear them crawling around. The entire time I was chasing him, I had the I hate rented houses. I only took this place cause it was the only one that allowed a dog. So, here I sit, typing, still in my Bat Chasing outfit, minus the gloves, apron tied on my head, club and racquet in my lap, trying to work up the nerve to go back to bed. Oh, Roxy had fun chasing it as first, then just played with her toys. Oh, crap - he just flew over my head - off I go again.
I am back. This is definitely not a career choice I would recommend. The poor thing was getting tired and both cats and Roxy were after it. I just wanted to get it outside. I was trying to throw a blanket over it, but the animals were always in front of me, and I didn't want to risk one of them getting bitten. Finally got him to door, he flew out, back in and back upstairs. Waited till he came down, and sorta scared him back out the door. Shut the door, finished this, now to bed. Good nite, all. Tomorrow I call the landlord! (Wonder what the neighbors thought - seeing me in my getup crawling around on the floor like an idiot)
