Some of you may remember this thread: [In which our cat catches a bat and is quarantined.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=584944) Well, she successfully completed her quarantine and is no longer a Garage Cat; as of last night she became an Outdoor Cat once again. …and, after charging the battery, I drove the Miata this morning! ---

My cat caught a bat inside my house last year, and was chasing one that got in again about two weeks ago! That first time I thought he had caught a mouse, as I heard a loud squeaking down the hallway. The squeaking got closer and I thought, “Oh shoot, Atilla wants to give me a mouse!” So the cat comes around the corner and the “mouse” is flapping it’s wings! Aieeeeeee! I swatted at him, he dropped the bat, which then proceeded to fly around my living room! I caught it when I swung a pillow at it and knocked it out of the air. Picked it up wearing an oven mitt, as the cat has been vaccinated but I haven’t! Threw it outside and it flew away. ---
