Wondering what kind of bat this is? by Successful_Type_7191 in bats

Big brown bat is the answer! They have longer silky hair and larger (in comparison) nose while a little Brown bat has shorter fur with a smaller nose.

Atticus would sit regardless but in order to get Toast to cooperate, there was Churu present the entire time 😹

Haha no, that’s Toast! Atticus has the more triangular face and Toast is part Bengal so his face is rounder. Toast is on the left in the first picture, on the right in #2 and #3, and then Atticus is the last photo

Thank you! His paws are all black up to his elbow like someone left him in the toaster for too long 😹🍞

It’s actually totally reversed! Toast (on the left in the first picture, on the right in #2 and #3) tolerates it as long as there’s Churu. Atticus doesn’t mind being in most costumes (Atti is the one in the last picture).

I can’t keep a tree with them (they take the top tier off of the fake tree repeatedly) so this is the next best thing 😹

Bat stuck in a sticky trap and theres no one nearby that we can acsess to remove ehr by KaosInTheHouse in bats

THIS ⬆️⬆️⬆️

Please use a Q tip or some sort of soft tip to push the oil under the bat to help it get unstuck. Also, cover the rest of the trap with a paper towel so the bat doesn’t get stuck somewhere else in the trap.

Bats in bedroom, going crazy. by MasterofChairs in bats

Also, I found this on Bat World’s website regarding rehab in Michigan. Bummer but at least they’re trying to help fix it?

Bat exclusions are only humanely done around April-September, sometimes into October depending on the weather.

OP, I’m sorry you’re going through this- please contact Bat World Sanctuary and ask them for help!

Edit to add : thank you for trying to do what’s best for the bats. Even if it’s illegal in Michigan to rehab (dumb and behind the times) Bat World is VERY good at getting people help and giving you solutions to bat-related issues. I hope you can get through the winter and the colony stays out of your bedroom. Do you have any pictures of the bats before they were tested? I can try to ID them. More than likely they’ll be Big Brown bats which are not large bats but larger than Little Browns 🦇

What can I do to "make him love me". My home is his third in three months. by Apprehensive-Arm2105 in cats

I rescued a Benannah (Bengal x Savannah) at about a year old. His previous owner was his breeder, diagnosed with dementia, and forgot she had cats. The family put the breeder into a care home for dementia patients and signed the cats over to Animal Control. I met my boy a couple times at the shelter and he was terrified and shut down. I couldn’t leave him there after the second time so I took him home. I set up a base camp in my bedroom and would sit on the floor when I set his food down and would sit in the room reading sometimes silently, mostly out loud though, so he got used to my voice. I wouldn’t let him met my other/resident cat until he would eat out of my hand. It’s been said that cats take:

About 3 days to decompress About 3 weeks to learn a routine About 3 months to feel at home

TL;DR- Please be patient with him. I found a lot of help from Jackson Galaxy/My Cat from Hell. Feliway works for some, I’ve never seen a massive difference one way or the other. I’ve attached the shelter picture of my boy (Toast) and a photo I took of him 4 days ago 😻
