The Bat in the Bathroom

I forgot to mention the wierdest experience of the day the other day. I noticed that the dogs were very interested in the Powder Room downstairs. I figured one of the cats was cornered in there so I went in to check. I looked around and saw something small and brown on the floor in the corner. Mind you, I had just gotten up and didn't have on my glasses so I really couldn't tell what it was. I ASSUMED it was a mouse or mole that the cats had drug in. So, I get a wad of toilet paper and go to pick it up and it raises it's little head and hisses at me. At that point I knew it wasn't a mouse! I got my glasses on and went back in and realized it was a little bitty bat. I don't know how it got in but I was pretty sure it was gonna go out! I got a clear plastic cup, some plastic wrap and some tongs. When I picked him up he was raising his head and hissing at me and I could see all these tiny little needle like teeth in his mouth and his funny little squished nose. The he started clicking (I assume that was his sonar kicking in : ) ) I got him in the cup and put the plastic wrap on top and proceeded to spend 30 minutes just watching him. It was kinda interesting really. Well, normally, I would have just thrown him in the yard like I do all gifts from cats, but I was afraid the cats would find him interesting and didn't want them to get bit, so I did the only humane thing I could think of.......Now Lizzy will understand why I had a flashback to 5th grade while doing this.....I flushed him down the toilet! Yes, you heard right. Not only did I flush him down, I flushed it three times! I wanted to make SURE that he was gone, cause Liz and I both know that sometimes living things that go down don't stay down! LOL Anyway, that was the adventure of the day. Just wish I knew how he got in the house!
