Had one of these on my balcony on Friday evening.

At the door. Sure it would have come in if I'd have let it. Very cute. Now I know who's been going through my bins. I think I need to be careful and not try to do my usual trick of trying to befriend it or tame it. 

"Tollwut" or Rabies doesn't exist here. So they say. Aber...I would however probably bleed for ages if bitten thanks to the blood thinners. 


Rabies nearly always used to result in death. And not a pleasant one.

"You can survive rabies exposure if you’re treated within a few days of exposure, before you have symptoms. Once you have rabies — that is, you’re showing symptoms of the virus affecting your brain — there aren’t any effective treatments available. Without early vaccination and antibody treatment, rabies is nearly always fatal."

I now have a big pair of ski gloves next to the door. He/she seems to be getting bolder so if it does want a pet, I'm prepared.......
