I too felt as Smilla about the bat...bats are good...bats are great...ok that was starting to sound like a cheer. Actually without bats we wouldn't be able to go outside in the summer for all the mosquitos.

Also on the other hand....so glad your cats are ok. Usually for rabies to be transmitted it has to be through a bite or the saliva. Since the bat was already dead this probably wouldn't have happened. Just for future reference.

We have bat boxes on our property just trying to convince bats that they want to live here. Bats are our friends.
