Bats can be carriers of rabies, you know. Better hope your cat doesn’t get that bat.
Back in WWII there was an outfit in NM that was putting together bats to be dumped from airplanes with parachutes and incendiary bombs with the idea being to drop them over Tokyo etal to set the thatched roofs on fire.
The experiment ended up setting some forest fires in CA.
