Winter tale
me and my bat (see, I was indeed telling the truth)
I think I might have a new obsession: bats.
Because they are simply the cutest things. Because they don’t bite, once they have got accustomed to a place and its inhabitants. Because some of them hibernate. Because when they drink water they look like cats. Because they are in danger of extinction. Because it didn’t bit me. Because the only ones who do suck blood are the vampire bats and the worst thing they can do to a human is some nasty infections due to the bite itself, not due to blood loss. Because some of them eat insects. Because some of them eat honey. And some like fruit. Because it doesn’t seem to me that they look like mice. Because they are curious. At least mine is :D. Because when taking it in your arms, it makes that cute nose thing called sniffing. He really sniffed at me! And he also did that yelling thing, which made Rascal not wanting to eat it anymore. Muahaha, at least we now have a living ultrasonic device.
It’s now in hibernation mode. We didn’t bring it to the vet, as the guy from the Romanian Bat Protection Association (yeah, we have one!) who kindly answered my call this morning, told me to put it somewhere on the balcony and let it hibernate. Did you know that their recovery from injuries happens very fast? Most of the times without vet help? I wished humans could regenerate so fast. And fly.

Rich talked to someone from the “EMIL RACOVITA” INSTITUTE OF SPELEOLOGY OF ROMANIAN ACADEMY and they told him we shouldn’t worry. Just let it hibernate. It will be fine after waking up.
The End
Yikes!bats! *shiver*

Yeahthtsme,
They only need to be discovered. They also are not that frightening after seeing them cuddle. And they don’t resemble rats at all!

Ioanna,
unfortunately for us it won’t last long. It will most probably fly away after the winter sleep. 😦 And if not, we’ll still have to integrate it into a group of bats.

At least you had the privilege to be friends with a bat, not many people have that! 🙂

Ioanna,
you are right! Happy me! I plan on taking a lot of pictures when the bat wakes up, so I can show them to my grandchildren. I’ll be kind of the cool granny then!

Adorable idea! And this would be so funny at work because we’ve had some bats join us in the ofifce recently. I have no idea how they get in, but it’s pretty funny!
