Apparently now, i have a pet. This past Saturday morning, i awake to hear a rustling out in my living room. i stumble out of bed, and find, to my surprise, a bat flying around in my apartment. After a moment of "WTF?!?!?", i start looking for how the little blighter got in. It seems that the screen on the outside of the window in my bathroom has become very loose, and, with me keeping the window open to get air flow going through my apartment, he crawled under the loose screen, and found his "freedom" in my place. i soon managed to herd him back into the bathroom with the open window, and shut the door, so all he would have to do would be to crawl back out under the screen and be on his way. After i couldn't see him any more, i shut my inside window, after making sure that there was no opening for him to climb back into the apartment.
Well, guess what. It's now 11:20 Sunday morning, and he's hanging from the underside of the window, between the glass and the very loose screen. i can't tell if he just hid himself well when i closed the window Saturday morning, or if he's crawling back in and out under the screen after finding himself a new "Batcave", so to speak. He's still alive, because i can see him move slightly while sleeping.
At this point in time, i'm not TOO worried about getting in touch with the landlord. If he's found a new home, i'm kind of cool with it. i highly doubt that SWONtario is a popular home for vampire bats, so he's probably harmless. As it is, he can't get back in, unless i open the window, which i'm not going to do. i'm tempeted to just leave him be, and see how long he hangs around (no pun intended). If he does stay around, i may just have to name him, and i already know what that will be. Vlad.
