Cats do the darndest things.

For example, Twitter user NickMillerr_'s cat, Nala, decided it would be a great idea to bring home a live bat and casually drop it in the house.

In case you're curious as to how that horrific scenario played out, NickMillerr_ tweeted the riveting, suspense-filled saga in the form of a two-minute-long video.

Once NickMillerr_ realized what his sweet little Nala had done, his immediate response understandably included a few curse words followed by extreme confusion.

As Nala gave her new friend a tour of the house, her owner seemed relatively calm considering the situation -- that is, until the bat began frantically flying around.

At around 3 a.m. with two doors leading to the outside world propped wide open and several failed attempts at capturing the bat, the menacing little mammal eventually flew outside and the wild adventure came to an end.

As you can imagine, NickMillerr_ was not too pleased with Nala.
