I don't have any new thoughts on what it could be - but I can say that you are one BRAVE woman!!!! I would be staying in a hotel by now :o Maybe you should get a night vision camera so you could capture the culprit on video. :psycho:

Not good FC. I have the same problem. Betty has been bringing in live mice. Luckily I keep her in at night!

I would call an exterminator immediately. I have to assume rodents and with the filth that they can carry, I would replace everything. That's just me.

I agree that you are quite brave. And your house animals are quite nonchalant about rodents, snakes, and aliens. I *know* they would alert you to a bat, and have thus ruled that out as the culprit. ;)

OMG, you know what's really funny is that two summers ago after I had my knee surgery I was hobbling into the bathroom in the middle of the night to pee and saw what I thought was a sock on the floor. So I hopped-hobbled over it, peed, and went back to bed. The next morning when I got up the sock had moved. I bent over to look at it and upon closer inspection it wasn't a sock, it WAS a BAT!!!! :o

With five cats, we've always got something in the house. Last summer we had a couple voles, a woodpecker of sorts, and a snake. Rodents really aren't anything new and I'm not worried about an infestation or anything. Our cats are quite skilled hunters! Athena has been sitting in the kitchen for the past two days staring at the bottom of the refrigerator. I think she brought a lizard in and it ran under there. She seems to think it will come out! ;) :teehee:

(Raises hand with non-intrusive bat story) We have a family of bats that patrol our small farm, and I'm so thankful for them. Two summers ago I found a small something crawling on the barn floor. It was a baby bat (so adorable, yet scary at the same time). We had six barn cats at the time, and they hadn't touched it. I had DH scoop it up and move it behind the hay barn where the bats seemed to hang out. Maybe the kitties are intimidated by bats????

I have this irrational fear of aliens... I hope it is not the little green men sneaking into your room at night!!
Me, too! That was my first thought, FC.

:o Not a helpful one, I'm afraid, but it was my first thought.

And now, in all seriousness FC, I'll raise a really ugly specter. What about rabies? I have no idea what the incidence of it is near you, or what the protocol is for wildlife bites, but is it something you have thought about? IF you have been bitten by rodent or bat, wouldn't that call for rabies series??

And, I'm sorry, I don't mean to come across as an asshat trying to scare anyone, because I really don't have any knowledge on the topic at all. But it was the second thing I thought of after aliens.

A humble second to RR. We just had a report of a rabid cat that bit a man at his place of business not far from our farm. Be careful, and try to catch those critters in case they need to be tested.
