[QUOTE="rbingham2000, post: 1728236, member: 12947"] When I first saw the little bastard on the floor in my room the other day, I thought it was one of those little birds that Max (my cat) likes to take down now and again, and I was set to chew him out for it once I was finished with taking it out -- if you're going to kill and eat stuff, do it outside! It could only squirm slightly when touched, it was on its stomach and its wings were folded much like a bird. Except for two things: [list=1] [*]Birds usually have feathers, and it would have left some around my room. [*]Birds don't have ears or fangs, as I found out when I got a pair of gloves to take it outside -- and the shape of the wings when they're at full spread is unmistakable. [/list] Yep, it was a BAT. Turns out the little bastard must have gotten sick or something before or after coming down the chimney, which accounted for why it couldn't fly, though how it got into my room is anyone's guess. Taking my shoe and putting it out of its misery was out of the question. I don't use my shoe on anything bigger than a cricket or a cockroach, especially when the area in question has a carpet, and getting bat blood out of my carpet would have been a serious hassle -- and I sure as hell wasn't touching that thing again. Period. Dad's usually the one who takes care of bats in the house, because neither my mom or my aunt who lives across the street are very good with bats at all. Dad was out helping another relative with some hauling work over at Fort McCoy, so he didn't get home and get rid of the little bastard until about an hour or so after Mom got back from work. The way it ended was that Dad put the bat up on one of the trees for the birds and bugs to finish off. [/QUOTE]
