[quote=Anonymous]Just went through this today in Northern MD. I was woken at 5:30 am by my three cats crashing around my room. I figured they had a toy and were just getting some morning crazies out. I tried to go back to sleep. The noises intensified. I caught what I thought was a moth out of the corner of my eye. Then the squeaking started after they batted it to the floor. It promptly got up and flew around my room then tried to hide. I grabbed a towel and scooped up the little thing and took it outside where it flew away. It just wanted out.

Called the Vet as soon as they opened to ask about any measures to take with my cats. They asked for their ages and last rabies shot dates. The oldest is 8 and is 3 months behind on her year 8 booster (has had them very year before this). Apparently the vaccines work very well and don't really have to be boosted every year. The other cats are 2 years old and are due for their year 2 booster soon. Apparently the fact they had their kitten shots and year one booster has them covered. No immediate shots needed.

So, the cats are fine, the bat is hopefully fine, and I am just a bit shaken up by such an unusual wake-up call!

I know this is an old thread, but it seems to have been recently bumped, even by the OP, and I found it very helpful while I waited on the vet to open.[/quote]
