One of my cats used to be good at catching bats - she was jet black and she owned the night...we found one in the dining room one morning and put it in the garage 'till dusk, when we opened the big door and he was gone when we checked later.

I used to use a plastic jug for the water to rinse my hair and one morning I got in the bath, filled up the jug and poured it over my head. Another bloody bat had been hiding in the jug and it bounced off my head into the bath water and I was out of there in about 5 nanoseconds flat! Jeez, my heart was going ten to the dozen. Scooped him out and put him in the garage till dusk.
