Speaking of rabies shots, this happened just last night…wife and I were watching the 6pm news having a glass of wine when all of a sudden a bat (okay, I’m a guy and we tent to exaggerate) a giant bat with an 8” wing-span flew through the kitchen and into the living room, dive bombing my head! I screamed like a girl, “Ahhhhhh!” as my wife said, grab the cat and open the front door!

After another circle around the interior of our home, the thing headed for the stairs, that was her fatal mistake because our cat, Ginger-the-rescue cat, was watching…she went up the stairs, took flight and caught the damn thing in her clutches! She brought it to the living room where it escaped under our end table. After securing the cat in the bathroom, I grabbed a towel and tossed it over the vermin. Sliding a magazine under the towel and with my wife opening the front door, I tossed it outside. It hit the pavers, hopped around a bit and then took flight. With our adrenaline flowing, we released the cat and gave her some treats for her bravery…..on Friday we are taking her to the vet just to make sure her shots are up to date.
