Now we know why it is a good thing to have your fur butts sleep in your bed! Ours detected a snake last Saturday that was about to sneak in... Mikki is the hero!

How horrifying!!!!! Have you washed your bedding? LOL! Good luck sleeping tonight.

I hate bats. I don't care if they are good or not, I hate them. I have had them in my room twice. One time as I was running, shrieking out of my room, the dang thing flew down and swiped my head.

It took a good 6-7 months for my fluffs to go in my room without hiding under the bed.

Right now I am sleeping on the couch cause I can hear bats in the eaves by my room and I cannot sleep in there. Hate em, hate em, hate em.

Their droppings can supposedly cause TB and who the heck knows what else....

OMG, I would have died a thousand deaths!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate bats...they are the creepiest things I've ever seen! I didn't really see anything funny about this story...they are just too darn creepy and evil looking...and what a shock to wake up next to one.

I do have a funny story about a bat. A lady that slept in the buff, was in bed talking to her daughter on the telephone. All of a sudden the lady saw a bat in her room and she went ballistic...screaming and screaming into the phone. This lady had a basement apartment in her home that two girls rented. Well, those renters heard their landlord screaming and thought she must be being attacked, so they called 911. Pretty soon, the police were there and had to break her front door to get into the house. They found her in her bedroom under the covers and thinking there was someone in there with her, they pulled back the covers. hahaha. That poor lady! Stupid bat!

To the OP...I hope and pray that bat is not rabid.

Glad you guys can ~somewhat~ get me to see the humor in the situation. I'm on my way there, but not yet.

The bat is a gonner. He is on his way to a lab to get his brains tested for rabies. I do feel bad for the thing, I'm sure he was just lost, but since he landed on me he has to get tested, or I have to just go get the rabies shots.
Should get the results in two to three days.

Are you serious? You killed a bat because it landed on you?

I can tell how bad you really feel for the poor thing. Senseless killing of bats is not helping the problem we're experiencing now.

MandyMissouri · 06-03-2009, 01:34 PM

Wow, how quick you are to condemn. And such an expert!

People usually know when they have been bitten by a bat. However, most types of bats have very small teeth which may leave marks that disappear quickly. There are situations in which you should seek medical advice even in the absence of an obvious bite wound. For example, if you awakened because a bat landed on you while you were sleeping, if you awakened and found a bat in your room, if you see a bat in a room with an unattended child, or see a bat near a mentally impaired or intoxicated person, try to safely capture the bat and have the bat tested, and seek medical advice.

My kids having a mother is more important to me than if the bat, that invaded MY bed.
I just joined this group. Maybe I should find another that takes human life more serious?

Good grief! Of course this bat has to be tested for rabies and I think they have to be dead in order to be tested. There's no need to be harsh with this lady. If I woke up with a bat in my bed, it would be dead too! Hopefully the thing isn't rabid so they don't have to have rabies shots.

luckylady · 06-03-2009, 02:57 PM

OMG

......I would have freaked, screamed, and been sick to my stomach. I probably would have left the house til the thing was gone! Gross, gross, gross. I feel for you.

On another note, yes a bat does need to be dead in order to test it for rabies. A girl I work with volunteers with a wildlife rescue group here. She's had itty-bitty baby bats in a cage at work feeding them every few hours. Kinda cute??? to look at when she's handling them, but not for me. She's also brought in a couple of baby possums so they could be fed every few hours. Again, cute when they're tiny............but the ugliest things EVER when they are adults. She just gushes over them saying how cute they all are.

Good luck with the test results

heatherm0890 · 06-03-2009, 03:03 PM

So, it was just pointed out to me that I said I hope the bat WAS rabid when I clearly meant to say that I hope it WAS NOT rabid. Sorry.

ETD... I saw the bat already was caught since I posted and has gone for testing.
