That was exactly what Mrs. Meshack and I where wondering one morning in the living area of our home.
She looked at me, I looked at her and she said let’s go get Julius!
Luckily for me, Mrs. Meshack was over for a visit and could tell Julius, in Swahili we had heard; because of course when he came in it was dead silent! He left and after a few minutes the noise erupted above the ceiling again, this time from one end of the room to the other and then over the kitchen. He came in again, this time he heard it! The ceilings are about 10 feet and the attic access is in the hall- looked at me and said “wait’. Ok I thought,…
I watched as he went around the yard, gathered some wood and laid out a ladder! He left again, and came back with nails and a hammer and proceeded to make a ladder with which he went into the attic to “see”. I gave him our hand crank flashlight, another large stick and shut all the doors to the hall, hiding in the living/kitchen area! I hear whack, whack, whack, movement, whack,……..etc.
Then to my amazement Mrs. Meshack’s gardener, his buddy, was call from the front door. This was his display:
Bats! Three where up doing who know what in the attic. Julius had literally beaten one to death! This is Julius with his trophy. We left it for John to see when he came home for lunch that day! Funny sort of greenish colored fur. Something about the display reminded me of the boys in the mountains, crawfish claws lined up,…..
He said there where three and that he was going back up to shoo them out and seal up the whole! YEA!!
