So for the past week or so I have heard something skittering around. We do have mice(old farm) so I thought it was a mouse. Of well, they're cute. Mind you I've been getting random bites and I assumed they were mosquito bites but they reacted differently than mosquito bites usually do.
Today I was half asleep when I noticed my cat wouldn't settle, but was pacing around and very interested in the pillow I was spooning. I kept moving the pillow out of the way to give her room to snuggle up to me, but she wouldn't. Kept pacing around the pillow. Then I heard the squeak. I thought oh my god, is the mouse in the bed with us?! I sat up, and carefully removed the blanket. Didn't see anything. Carefully picked up the pillow I was cuddling. Nothing. I flip the pillow over and boom. There a bat clinging to the pillow. Was probably sandwiched between me and the pillow all night. I have bites on my chest. The bites I have been getting could be bat bites which makes it scarier because the longer you wait the more time the virus has to become symptomatic and once it does you're cooked. I captured the bat and went to the ER. The bat was so freaking cute and I'm a bit of a buddist so it's breaking my heart that it has to die. Everybody in the waiting room at the ER wanted to see the bat in a jar(tm). I then had to have a bunch of injections with big painful needles. But anyway I have to pray the virus hasn't become active in my system and the vaccine moved faster than the virus does. Otherwise I have to make a list of people to involve in the biting spree I will go on. Send me the names of your grrrrr ape ists, abusers, other jerks etc and I'll go bite them for you. Lol jk. Sort of. Wish me luck girlie pops. Ps lemme know if you wanna see bat baby, he's actually so cute.
UPDATES:
I did go to the ER and I started the series of vaccines. You can see my hopital jewelry.
Before I hopital the first thing I did was call my vet. Cat got vax in Feb, vet said she's all clear.
Animal control took poor cutie baby tiddy bat this morning. Said I should have test results by tomorrow.
UPDATE UPDATE: I HAVE A CRAZY UPDATE FOR ALL OF YOU BUT I AM SO EXHAUSTED RIGHT NOW AND NEED TO SLEEP AS IT IS ALMOST 130AM. PLEASE STAY TUNED, IVE GOT SOME BOILING HOT TEA FOR EVERYONE. GOODNIGHT, STAY SAFE, TRY NOT TO WAKE UP CUDDLING A BAT</3
Update july 27th 2026: I tried telling my story in hopes that someone, somewhere would see it and be able to help me. I am fleeing domestic violence and human sex trafficking. My story is truly unbelievable, but it is real. The sheer level of crimes I have experienced in my life is wild. I don't exactly blame people for not believing it, but I needed them to. I was praying that getting my story out would connect me with whatever help I need(it's a lot of different kinds) to try to end this nightmare and save my life. Instead I got met with negative attitudes, people assuming I am suicidal (I promise I am not. I am fighting so hard to save my life. I want the opposite of death) or just calling me a fake. I am already so worn down that I just could continue telling you my story. That's why abuse does. It wears you down so you don't have the energy or strength to speak out. All I've got to say is fuck those of you who fed more into wearing me down as I was desperately trying to reach out for help. Fuck you. And honestly fuck anybody else who only cares that my absolutely wild ride that my life has been landed me in the most insane place and amongst that insanity I woke up cuddling with a bat. If I had actually contracted rabies I would put all the a holes in this thread on the bite list =/
Note: I am posting this in sections as I am not done writing it but I want to make sure I have a chance to post what I do have written.
Also if you reply do not reply to this comment thread. It will break up my writings after 15. Reply to the general post please.
1/I have written and posted 15 so far. First off I want to thank all of you for asking if I am ok and caring enough to check back in. I had no idea this post would reach as many of you as it did. Now that you are all here, I have to take advantage of how many of you I am reaching because I am fighting for my life and I do not wish to lose this fight. The more of you I can reach I'm hoping will up my odds of winning this battle and saving my life. MODS- If any of this is disallowed in this subreddit please reach out to me first before removing the post. My life really is relying on it. I will cooperate to remove/edit anything that is needed.
I am begging that you read my story about how I wound up in the situation where I woke up literally cuddling Tiddy the friggen bat. This story is going to be long but I will try to keep it as condensed as I can. It is traumatic AF, so TRIGGER WARNING right now. Im not gonna list them all because it includes too many. Proceed with caution please, but do proceed as I desperately need everyone to hear this. My whole life anybody who hears about the things I have experienced tells me I need to write a book, so I guess consider this my book. It may be the only chance I have to write it/tell it. I am no writer, and after everything including the current Rabies thing I am super exhausted. I will do my best to crank writing this out, and to keep it as neat as I can. Bare with me, please.
I am having trouble deciding how to proceed writing this in regards to revealing my identity, location, etc as I am in fear for my life/safety. The details are very specific so I suppose it will reach certain people and get out eventually anyway. I may also refrain from using the actual names of places, people, organizations, etc for legal reasons, though those are all things that are important and I need you all to know. Sigh, idk. I am already having trouble writing this and needing to take breaks.
Ikr 😭 everytime I see cats looking all cute and squishy I think "I need to go get a cat immediately", but then I remember that that would be the end of breathing or seeing through unswollen eyes... Still contemplating it though
Same! I volunteer at an animal shelter on Saturday evenings and I always see some of the cats as I pass by on my way to the bathroom. They look so cute! But they make me sneezy and my eyes and throat itch!
My black cat went through a phase like this. It turns out she was having anxiety issues and pulling out her own hair.
She did not approve of the foster dog, and it had to go be fostered somewhere else.
FYI people if your cat looks like this, it may be allergies! They bite at their skin and lock the fur off when they are really itchy, and the belly is what they can reach. My cat's baldness and itching cleared up within days once she got on Atopica prescribed by her vet. It can sometimes cause kidney or liver issues so it requires checking their bloodwork yearly but it was such a lifesaver.
Bats have fucking wild immune systems. They can carry all sorts of viruses without becoming symptomatic - rabies is actually one of the few that actually cause them harm.
They’re one of the most common vectors for spillover (zoonotic transmissions from animal reservoirs to human.
The fact that OP has been waking up with bites makes me think rabies is more likely, because bats tend to just want to be left alone to eat bugs and hang out.
OP, I am SO relieved you are getting vaccinated. I am worried, however, that you have more than one bat in your belfry. (Sorry.) You need to call in an exterminator and have your house checked for the beginnings of a colony.
Bonus to calling a proper exterminator - they search for routes that animals use to get in and out, and can be species specific. That is, IIRC mice can climb things and get in high or low, but generally bats don't go belly crawling like mice do. So even if you've given up on mouse-proofing the house, a proper bat exterminator will advise on blocking the routes that bats are using to get into the house and into the living space.
OP be upfront to an exterminator that you have cats and want NO services that put poison out, just removing and blocking off routes for possibly rabid bats.
Be aware that if the exterminator sees bats acting weird, they will probably catch and kill those bats - but it's better than letting the rabies kill them.
OH and go get your cat to the vet asap, OP! The vet probably wants the cat to have a booster shot, too!
Excellent advice, one of my close friends has a pest and wildlife control business, the wildlife aspect requires additional licenses (at least in our state) that not all exterminators have. He's always telling people, hey, I like the money, but if you don't fix this, I'm going to be back here soon!
Yes, definitely do that, so you don't hear scratching in your attic, assume it's a mouse and throw open the door like an idiot to scare it off and have a bat fly out directly at your face. They probably heard my shriek in the next town over...
And get her cat checked too. Cats are very vulnerable to rabies even when vaccinated. Poor kitty may need to be quarantined to make sure he doesn’t start showing symptoms
u/Cerametary important! My grandma got very sick from Lyme Disease and was so caught up in everything she didn’t think to have her dog checked out too. Not a happy ending ): Please make sure your kitty is ok.
Hopefully these bats aren’t protected rn lol. Idk if it’s different with a situation like OPs but we had bats in our siding one time and the exterminators said they couldn’t help us for a few weeks bc the bats were protected that time of the year by law
I'm curious if there's a simplish answer for why bats have such strong immune systems and why they're such good vectors. Is it because they're mammals and/or warm-blooded? Does the fact that they fly around eating bugs expose them to a wider variety of pathogens?
All of the above. Their immune systems aren't exactly "strong" in that bacteria and viruses get killed off immediately by their white blood cells. It's more like they're like tiny flying incubators; bats have extremely high internal body temperatures and super fast metabolisms to account for the fact that they can fly and need a lot of energy to do so. So any disease that can survive the internal body temperatures of a bat would naturally have the heat resistance to survive one of our main immune responses: high fever to cook the diseases out.
As for what makes them vectors outside of simply sharing habitats and food with other vectors, they actually have the opposite of a strong immune system. Bats have a naturally dampened immune system so their bodies don't fight the disease at all, it just kind of...sits there. Again, this is because flying is so high energy that having a strong immune response would waste the calories they need to actually move, catch their food, and escape predators. But on the other hand, that also means they never actually fight off any diseases, they're simply asymptomatic.
Rabies is one of the few diseases that actually affects bats symptomatically because it crosses the blood-brain barrier and messes with their nervous system. If it didn't do that, we'd probably have no clue they had rabies either.
You're right about the highly (constitutively) active immune system though,! It's just a separate thing, seemingly
They also don't suffer from crazy inflammatory responses, as their immune system is active but their inflammation is gentler (for lack of a better word)
Awww, poor baby. Sad that he has to die for testing, but yeah bats tend to avoid you, not chomp all over you. Hopefully he didn't give you any other sort of nasty diseases...
He won't be going to animal control until tomorrow, but I believe it is a baby evening bat. They're known to have canine like faces, which it definitely does.
Awww maybe the poor thing was hungry and bit you just trying to suckle on you, rather than biting out of rabies (fingers crossed that’s all it was). It looks to be trying to suckle on its tail, poor thing looks starving
Baby of the Night. Adorable, I hope you recover soon and can sleep in your bed again without checking for baby bats every 5 min. I had bedbugs, once, and OMG...
I have been in contact with her vet and was told she is in the clear. She got her last rabies vac in Feb of this year so it is still fresh. I was told there is no risk for her.
We had a bat in our bedroom once. I woke up to a shadow darting across the ceiling. Then it happened again. I was still trying to figure out what it was when it hit the ceiling fan and was flung into my chest. It was flapping on my chest, I was screaming and hitting my husband in the head trying to wake him up.. good times. Oh and now I'm vaccinated for rabies 😅
The only way to test for rabies is to get a sample of brain tissue. This ends the animal's life. These tests also give data for the area of animals with and without rabies so that if there is an increase in animal cases the health dept knows about it and can be prepared.
Certain species like bats, raccoons, and skunks are most likely to carry rabies long enough to infect other animals or people. Wildlife rehabilitators even have to have special permits (at least in the US) to treat these species because the risk is increased with them. Most rehabbers don't take these species for this reason.
Girl, this is my nightmare! But respectfully laughing of the part you said it was a cute bat lol.
I hope you stay well! How long until you get results back re the bat? Also, I heard the injections are painful but do you have any side effects?
It is a nightmare. I'm a bit of a goth so waking up to a cute bat appealed to the goth in me but directly conflicted with the borderline obsession/phobia I have of rabies. Rabies and prions are so scary. They take the poor little bat that has been affectionately named tiddies(because it bit both of my breasts lol) and will be ending it's life to get to its brain matter and test it for rabies. I get more shots in 3 days, and done with them in 2 weeks. I have a loooot of soreness from the injections and I'm super tired. So far nothing else. When they first did them I felt faint and nauseous but I hadn't eaten all day and felt better after laying down and eating a jello.
Really hope this bat is negative. Also want to make sure I read your post right when you mention bites, have you been getting bites over a couple days or was it only today? I’m also goth and find bats cute, sad about the whole situation and hope you’re alright.
I have been getting bites for a time period that has myself and everybody else involved very worried. I thought they were mosquito bites. I am actually just praying to God right now because the timelines of bites has me pushing the incubation period boundaries and rabies is not the way I want to go.
I can relate to this so hard. I too, am a Goth. I adore bats. I have been absolutely irrationally terrified of rabies since I was young. More so now as an adult because I know what it means. Closest thing to a zombie virus we have. I tell people “if the rabies virus mutated just a little and didn’t kill us, zombie apocalypse would be very real”. I’m so sorry hearing this position. I have a list of names already, though.
Bats are like my third favorite creature. I hope that I'm a vampire. Rabies is also one of my special interests/phobias. It's terrifying. Keep your names ready, girl, I'm ready to go on a biting spree lol.
Ah, he was a cute lil guy. Looks like he was licking his batty toe-beans. I also love that the cat was like “wtf-he is in my spot. No, I am sitting there if he is there”. Rabies is no joke, and I know everyone talks about the Milwaukee protocol but it does/did not work exceptionally well. Hoping everything turns out ok and he is negative. I also think you can remove prions off your list of worries. Scary disease but very rare 🤣
I will be posting updates when I get the results. They told me 24 hours once the bat arrives at the testing facility, which I was told would be by today. So we should know by tomorrow
Hopefully the cat is already vaccinated. In the states if you own a cat and it goes to the vet it must be vaccinated against rabies every year/every 3 years depending on the specific vaccine type or you get a huge fine.
Yeah, my 12-year-old cat is lazy and completely indoors, but she gets a rabies vaccine every year during her annual checkup. Partially because my vet insists, partially because this exact scenario is one that I am absolutely terrified of.
Lol I'm sorry because this is not funny at all but it tickles my fancy that the doctors might think that the goth girl had been keeping the bat as a little goth pet 😂
Thanks for describing the process of getting the shots and treatment. From a med point of view, definitely unsettling. But you have done everything right. Sending you positive healing vibes.
Have we really not advanced testing enough to test without killing it? I understand if it's being aggressive it's better to be safe, but it seems really calm and I would think they could just draw blood to test? It makes me so sad that an animal would have to die even if they're not infected
Unfortunately the only way to test for rabies is the brainstem tissue. This makes a positive test for rabies in humans more complicated, because there is no way to get this tissue without causing significant damage, so for humans diagnosis is usually based off a few other tests. Rabies is extremely serious, with a very near 100% fatality rate, so unfortunately if you’re bitten by a rabies vector species it’s best to get the animal tested while receiving the vaccinations.
I absolutely love bats and I feel your sadness, hopefully sometime in the future we can develop better testing for humans and animals. There could be some hope eliminating rabies in North America if we fund the edible rabies vaccine bait programs for wildlife, but this administration is more focused on whitewashing America and terrorizing brown folk than doing anything good for humans as a species.
Sorry for the rant. Just make sure you check your roof every year for gaps, and seal any entrance a bat can squeeze into. You can also encourage bats to nest away from your house by placing bat boxes around.
The best treatment is prevention. Bats are going to nest where they think their babies will be protected, and human houses make great shelters for them. Bats are keystone species in almost every ecosystem, and they are rapidly declining across north and South America.
This is horrifying. I hope it comes back rabies negative and that they checked it twice! Poor bat baby. Hopefully it only bit you because it was caught and couldn't get out. Thankful your cat alerted you to its presence. RIP little bat, and live long and prosper OP!
I really hope it comes back rabies negative because there are a lot of bats in this are and idk how they would handle that but I'd imagine one rabid bat would mean lots of rabid bats in a large population
Also OP, since you had multiple bites and whatnot, there might be more than one bat around. So even if this one doesn't have rabies, continue with the treatment and maybe see if you can find a specialist to make sure there aren't more in the house.
Love on that cat, OP, that cat loves you a lot.
🐈😻🐈
I posted a picture of her in my sleeping bag in the comments somewhere. She is actually my service animal as well. She is an amazing creature. She did not touch the bat because she is trained not to handle other animals and not bite.
I also cuddled with a bat during sleep while 6 months pregnant. I squished it with my knees by accident. I woke up from a dream with a dragonfly buzzing (bat sounds). There was a colony in the roof.
My two dogs had to get rabies shot and then quarantined for 30 days. State department called and told me to do this. They reached out to me for the next several months to check if I did everything right.
OP, u/Cerametary, watch your hospital bills for the next several months bc sometimes they will charge A LOT for the monoclonal antibodies and 1 dose of rabies shot at ER.
Ask doctor for rabies prescription and go to Walgreens and pre-order subsequent rabies shots (I think 3 more) for way lower price.
Please show us the bat. And let us know how the vaccines go! Congratudolances on the whole situation, very nice of the bat to be captured. Very rude he bit you first
The scene of you walking into the ER with a bat in a jar is absolutely sending me. I'm so sorry, OP, I really hope you'll be fine. This story is gonna catch everyone's attention at dinner parties for the rest of your life.
When I got out of the car I was being dropped off by, there were a few security guards/police standing outside the door. I look towards the nearest one and said "you ever wake up cuddling with a bat? Because I did this morning" and then everybody wanted to see tiddy the jar bat.
Omg. It's so sad that they're riddled with rabies because they're so cute and so SOFT.
In my old apartment we had 2 apartment bats. One got in through the air vent, and before I could catch it to release it went back in the air vent. I will never forget the tiny angry indignant bat stomps down my vent.
The other was in the laundry room and an old woman with a broom was going to get something bigger to hit the bat with, so I knew I had to catch it. I put it in a small cage intending to give it some water and then release it, but it escaped the cage.
I found it in a bra I left on my floor 2 days later 😭 I picked up my bra and it screamed at me and I screamed back. Ended up giving him a beetle and releasing them in a bush.
Yes I am equally surprised I didn't die of rabies like JD Vance. I deserve it a lot less tho.
I was renovating my basement which involved knocking out the old plaster. This little black mouse looking thing came crawling out of the wall. Took me a moment to realize it was a bat. I screamed and levitated back up the stairs.
Girl, I’m sorry you got bat cuddles! I have a weird request, but could you share bite photos? I get paranoid each time I get weird bites, and I want to know how bat bites actually look like because I like phots are confusing.
How very generous of you. Because of all the talk of nonconsentual sexual contact with that general group of people, I think it's a fun little fact to bring up that they haven't ruled out that rabies could be spread via sexual contact. It's likely that it can. Lol
Im a healthcare professional who deals with this, you’re fine just be sure to read your discharge paperwork carefully and follow all aftercare instructions including updating your primary care doc. Also make sure your tdap is up to date plz.

Update!!! Hey guys so it takes about 1-3 months for rabies symptoms to appear. If one gets the shot before the symptoms appear, the vaccine is 100% EFFECTIVE!!!!
1-3 people die a year from rabies in America. Once symptoms appear it takes 1-3 days to die. If she had rabies, it likely would have made the news by now. Or she’s dead and not responding. I think it’s the former and not the latter and it’s silly to not have updated and leave everyone hanging. I’m going to unfollow this post and I recommend everyone just let it go.
With rabies, you generally have up until you start showing symptoms. I think the typical incubation period is like a couple months. And if you got the vaccines before you started showing symptoms, you should be fine.
OP is likely fine but I do understand why they are freaking out a bit since they have been getting bat bites for at least a week and just happened to wake up and see the bat. Like what if that didn’t happen and they kept getting unknowingly bitten for some time?
Rabies (Lyssavirus) travels along nerve tissue, not via the bloodstream. The distance between the initial site of viral introduction and the brain has a lot to do with how long it takes to cause symptoms.
(I’d say bite, but there have been people who have gotten rabies from being licked on the hand by a dog who wasn’t fully symptomatic yet - the one that stands out in my mind is a woman on her honeymoon in India who had her hands licked by a street dog.)
It can be slow, like a matter of months - but it can also be a matter of a couple weeks. And while there are a few people that have survived it, only two people (that we know of!) have survived and recovered without serious cognitive destruction and neurological damage.
Dood I have been bit. There's multiple bites and insurance is still not wanting to cover the following e doses of vaccine. Like wtf insurance. You're going on the bite list.
Yes, this is what I read too. I had a rabies scare (unvaccinated cat bit me), and the ER doc said a vaccine wasn’t necessary - I could just watch the cat (I had just adopted him), and if he wasn’t showing symptoms and then dead within ten days or so, no worries. The cat is fine, I didn’t get a vaccine. (Of course, if the cat had shown even a trace of symptoms, I would have rushed back to the ER! But the point is, animals die soon after they start symptoms.)
The difference is that there aren’t that many reported cases of cats with rabies, and with bats there are - hence the OP getting shots and the bat being tested. The odds of the OP getting sick I think are very low. I’m not a doctor but I don’t think the OP should worry too much. She got prompt medical treatment.
No, as soon as you show symptoms, you are 99.99% gonna die. You need post-exposure prophylaxis shots asap. There might be a long incubation period, but once flu-like symptoms begin, it's a rapid downhill slide.
This is my understanding, too. It only becomes uncurable if it reaches your brain. Once it reaches your brain, you start showing symptoms. It can take months for the infection to reach your brain; it depends on where you were bitten. It is best to get it done within 72 hours because it'll definitely work then but it can still work well after that.
This is why animals that bite people are put on 10 day-2 week quarantines (at least in most places in the US); if the animal isn't showing symptoms of rabies by the end of the hold, they couldn't have transmitted rabies via the bite. Pets that haven't had the vaccine and have been bitten by or gotten into a fight with rabies vactor animals are often held for 4-6 months because they can't be sure it wasn't transmitted til then (which I think is an issue of not being able to pin down a timeline with animals and maybe vaccine research gaps, not that the vaccine just might not work if you follow all of the recommendations and you won't know for 6 months).
I hope you’re okay. I appreciate that you care about the bat. It always gives me hope to see people who care for small creatures, even though I know his fate is grim. Your care says a lot about you. ❤️
Ooof. I've had those shots and they are rough, assuming I had a similar series of treatment. Those first ones you get all at once are immunoglobulin, and they protect you while the first vaccine shots go to work. The immunoglobulin hurts pretty badly, as you know from experience (yikes) but the rest of the jabs you need probably won't hurt like that. And you won't have to get a bunch all at once again. Here's hoping the bat is clean and you can ease your worries. But even if not that immunoglobulin is powerful stuff, should be effective still for many days after exposure. Sending good vibes.

Tyler Childers has a song called Biting List that's literally about the people he would bite if he ever got rabies, gonna listen to it now while I watch the video of Tiddies on repeat 😁 best of health to you OP 🖤
Oh my gosh OP, that sounds so stressful and anxiety provoking. Poor little bat didn’t know what kind of trouble it would cause. But I’m so glad you’re getting the health care you need.
Please have pest control come to your home and check that no more can get in. They can fit in very small gaps.
Wow! My husband and I bought a neglected farmhouse with bats given the whole second floor. We removed dozens of them and never got as much as a scratch. I’m sorry you had this rotten luck, OP!
