Going batty
When I first introduced my furballs, somebody (you know who you are) made the comment that I was living with the “bat boy”. You’ve seen him in the tabloids. It’s frightening, I know. How could anyone make such a ghastly mistake? Sheesh, as if. My little boy may get his freak on every now and then, but that does not make him a circus freak.
I’m here to set the record straight. Big Pest may be a little bat-like in appearance due to his big pointy ears, but we absolutely must specify what species of bat he most resembles. There are many kinds you know, even if you exclude this alleged “bat boy”. First of all, under no circumstances, even on his worst day, does he ever look like a vampire bat. I mean come on, do you see any kind of resemblance here? Quit lying, he does not. My boy’s ears are longer and pointier, and he doesn’t have those beady little rat eyes. Nor does he have that melted-off-looking, smushed-in nose.
The best resemblance can be found if you compare him with a fruit bat. They are, in my opinion, the cutest in all of bat-dom. Take a look for yourself and see how right I am:
See?? Bat boy my ass. Next time you go comparing my boy to another creature, get your facts straight! Big Pest is obviously a fruit bat. And if you read this post, you’d know I was right.
