A few months ago it was windy as Hell. My basement door blew open while I was asleep and so did the bathroom plumbing access panel which is in my bedroom. I woke to the sound of something crawling on the floor. I turned on the light and a bat started flying around.
    I opened the window, grabbed my racquetball racquet and made a perfect serve on his ass right out the window.

Yep, it woke me right up and was thoroughly impressed. Until I called the Health Dept about getting the bat tested and they said any pet here that comes in contact with a bat (or other suspected rabid animal) must get a rabies booster within 24 hours or get quarantined  Thats because the testing sometimes takes longer than 24 hours so they want to make sure the animal and its subjects are protected.

I would imagine that must have startled you a little bit, though obviously not as much as it startled that bat.

Stinky was asleep in my lap while I was watching tv in the dark about 8 years ago. My house was still infested with bats then. A bat flew right through my line of sight between us and the TV. Stinky all at once woke up jumped off my lap and caught the bat in mid flight on the first try. He was rewarded by getting a rabies booster shot even though he was up to date as thats law here.

He is very strong.

I think whatever that cat caught is some sort of glider or toy designed to look like a bird.  It's not moving and the wings are sticking out flat after the cat catches it.  That's a pretty awesome jump though.

OMG that looks what my Monte would do.

Nah, nothing like that.  I just thought it was a cool picture - I hadn't seen that one of her before.

The one cat I have left doesn't care who's around, but his former co-ruler would sometimes leave if I walked in the room, even if she were using the covered box.  If nothing else, she would make some sort of disapproving face at me - or so it seemed.

Not Stinky - His litterbox is in the 2nd floor bathroom and when I go to use that bathroom he sometimes runs in and gets in his litterbox and does his thing like its some kind of competition or something.

our cats have covered boxes. they climb in, turn around, stick their heads out of the opening and squint. They don't care if you're there or not.

Me too; sometimes they look back at you and appear either angry or embarrassed.
