r/batty

Last night I woke up to my cat placing a bat by my feet and I tried to snatch it up with a shirt, but it got up and flew out of my room before I could. I really don't wanna wait for one of the cats to capture it again, but it's not anywhere I looked and I haven't heard it since it flew away. I'm not sure if it got back outside or not but I'd love to know any spots people could recommend. I love bats and I don't want it or my cat getting hurt. I've tried curtains and small dark areas but it's nowhere to be seen!

Hi, I'm not sure where else to post this, but if there's a more appropriate place please let me know.

We went swimming at a family member's house today. My daughter and husband swam, I didn't but as we were out there I saw something fly over their heads over and over and finally the home owner said "yeah there's bats out here" so I made my daughter and husband get out of the pool but by that time they'd already been in for over an hour.

Also, the pool didn't look like it was recently cleaned. I asked, and was told it had been recently cleaned but it didn't look like it tbh and they were filling up the pool with the hose water when we got there because they said some of the water had evaporated. It's my understanding that if bats are out there, then they probably also use that pool to drink out of so I'm also really stressed about the pool not being clean, the bats drinking out of the pool, and my husband and daughter being in it. Not to mention how close they were getting to them.

Should we get the vaccines in the morning?
