re: #513 MrSilverDragon

Considering my cat thinks she’s a Siberian Tiger (and tries to rule the house as such, forgetting how much bigger I am than she is) I’m right there with you. Nothing more amazing than watching a wild animal doing the same thing that the family pet (or omnipotent matriarch, in her mind, I have no doubt) does on a daily basis.

Long time ago I had a norwegian forest cat, best pet i’ve ever had. Gorgeous, just needed a little hello from time to time and otherwise wanted to sit somewhere high and watch over us.

Occasionally a bat would find its way into the house - i loved having them outside (for insect control) but those little things can worm their way into any crevice, like through our attic.

Every single time a bat got in, i’d chase it into a room, put the cat in with it, and sit still and watch. It was never 60 seconds before the bat flew low enough to encounter furred lightning. Then the cat would sniff it and paw it around, at which point (with a glove) i’d pick it up and gently put it back outside.

Bats may be fast, but they never stood a chance.
