so last night, very late, i woke up to kitty meowing and playing. i really didn't want to turn on the light, but i did. and she was playing with something rather larger than a june bug and very black. it didn't seem to be moving. my sleepy eyes couldn't really tell what it was, and frankly i don't like dealing with creatures or huge bugs in the dark so i told myself it was probably her cat nip toy and i went back to bed.
and this morning, oh this morning. there was a tiny and very dead bat on my floor. kitty had given up on it as a play thing and was waiting for breakfast. so i scooched it into yesterdays rice pilaf box as a coffin and tossed it into the dumpster. the real question though is how did it get in? and does he have friends.
i know bats are good, and they eat bugs, but i don't like them. not at all. i'm glad they eat the bugs but there are more bugs outside than in my house (amazingly enough) and i think the bats should stay outside. and also it's safer with no kitty to attack them.
