Can Demetri help it if he has nine lives?

Bats are rats with wings……Right?

“De bat de rat got wings,All de children know dat.What I need to know from de Lawd Is how to get de wings on de cat.Fly in me face, Oh Lawd,Fly in me face (let me tell you now)I hope de bat he don’t come out, and fly in me face tonite.”(Carly Simon)

Bat, not cat!

At least he didn’t turn into a gnat. Then he would have been dinner.

Mice, not rats, flittering mice. Ask any German.

Good one today.

What abhorable little Children of the Night School! :)> Will Demetri be getting a failing mark of the vampire?

hahahahha!!!! lol!! <3

I think Dimitri will catch more girls as a cute kitten than he would as a bat.

That cat is getting familiar :-D

Could have been worse. Could have been a sprat or a brat. As a cat he sure is cute.

I don’t know, I would find a vampire bat pretty scary. Especially if it looked like Hello Kitty.

Batman has Catwoman. So why doesn’t Batgirl have a Catboy?

Arianne! I asked the other day whether anyone had seen you. Hope all is well.

OK, for you —

A bat, a bat is not a rat…It’s not a mouse and not a cat,It’s arms are wingsIt hangs from things,and vampire ones do more than that..

Cute as you find that fuzzy kitten,It’s still a vampire— don’t get bitten.

Dear Susan,Ohhh … now that’s adorable! I loved it! It’s such a perfect complement to the adorable toon. I’ll bet Mark P. agrees. :) Thanks! ( Makes me wish I had some little ones to share this poem/cartoon combo with. They’d love it! ) All is well. Didn’t mean to be gone for so long… I should have dropped by sooner to say hi. Thanks again!

Thanks, Beviek! You’re so sweet to say that!

I think the cat got his tongue!

Bats by Batman unimpressed are.
