I had a vistitor last night

[dixienormous]

As I was opening the door for the babysitter to leave a bat walked into my living room. He never took flight so I suspect he was injured.

I got him under a tupperware, poked hole in it, and called Animal Control. I also named him Vincent.

If I had any way of knowing if he was sick or rabid, I might have kept him. He was REALLY cute. As of last night he was on his way to bat rehab.

Once I got him under the tupperware, he just sat back and gave himself a bath.

I didn't even know we had bats in our area!

Vincent is a great name for a bat.

They are all over. You can see them flying around at dusk.

Bats really are kind of cute.

Unless they are flying through your apartment and your cats are trying to get it.

Bat's are pretty neat. I'm glad you helped him out.

Bats are fun.

Unless your dad is in his underwear chasing one at midnight with a broom. Then bats are not fun.

These are awesome mental images.

I was glad that he was going to rehab rather than to be tested to rabies (since I could vouch that he didn't touch/bite anyone in my house).

[margarita]

Awwwww. I'm glad you helped him out.

I would have loved him!!

We had a hummingbird in my parents house once and that thing was so hard to catch! We finally got it and let it back outside because it was totally fine it just liked my parents gigantic windows. It was so soft!

I love that he just sauntered in, like hey, can I hang here?

[gault]

aww. You're good people.

He really did.

My friend thinks he was looking for privacy since once he was covered he started giving himself a bath.

Picture?

So cute! I love bats

The pic I have is blurry and he looks like a poop under a tupperware.

I'm glad he's going to bat rehab!!! I think they test their brains for rabies

I'm going to be the lone dissenter here! I would have flipped out! That isn't the least big cute and I would have left my house until someone else removed the bat (that someone else would be my dad).
