I was busy working at the computer last night when I noticed something very strange. Two of our cats were sitting in front of our insert, just staring at it. No fire going, just sitting side by side staring. When cats team up like that it's usually not a good sign. I opened the doors and didn't see anything. I chased the cats off and got back to work. Not a minute later they were back, closer this time, ears pricked. I listened carefully and heard a faint scratching sound coming from inside the insert. A small brown bat was crawling around inside up in the baffles. I have no idea how or why he got in there, but I had to get him out. I turned down the lights, suited up in my bat-hunting-wife-afraid-of-me-getting-rabies outfit, and waited. And waited. Finally, he came down to where I could grab him. A short trot to the door and he flew off into the night.
Granted, I'd rather have bats than water in my insert. Anyone else have bats in their stoves/inserts?
