Blimey Bernard! There's Only a Bloody Bat in the Bathroom!

in #blog7 years ago (edited)

I knew something was up last night when I saw our two cats holding a stake out next to one of our indoor plant pots.

Cat Face 1: What now, partner?
Cat Face 2: Now? Now we wait...
Cat Face 1: How long d'ya think it'll take?
Cat Face 2: [Slowly licks paw] Shuddup and keep watching..
Cat Face 1: [Sighs]Pass the bloody cat nip then.

This morning, both Cat Faces acted as if nothing was out of the ordinary. As if they hadn't both been chasing a bat around the house all night while we were sleeping the sleep of the just.

But then was a clatter and thumping as the children ran downstairs yelling, Muuuuuuummmmmm!! There's a bat in the bathroom!!!

And sure enough there was:

Yeah, I know that picture is kinda underwhelming.

But it's a bat.

And it's in our bathroom!!

So if anyone knows how to get a bat out of your house....I'm all ears...!!


Hey thanks for reading!

Follow me, @johleen if you like the kind of stuff I do. If you don't, don't!!

Much love!

Sort:  
  1. Glass and paper?
  2. The first thing a bat learns at school is the alphabat
  3. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bat
  1. Nope - too big, too fast and too hairy.
  2. Hahaha! So bad it's good.
  3. Show off!

It actually flew into the kid's room and we've managed to solve the bat issue by opening the window and closing the door. It seems to have gone. @fulcanelli made sure of it by playing the saxophone very loudly in the room. Surely their super-sonic hearing wouldn't stand for that?

Or.... it's going to start flying around the room now that my kids are tucked up in bed and scare the bejeesus out of them. :)

Now I'm just tackling an angry wasp that is stuck in the butter dish...

Seems to be a crazy animal day.

The wasp would be scarier to me than the bat.

Can @fulcanelli play Baker Street? Apparently every saxophonist gets asked that question all the time.

Yeah it was seriously pissed off. But you know, it was covered in butter...so... I mean, how scary can anything be when it's covered in butter, right?

You know, I don't know if he can play that. Will have to ask him haha!
