The title may be exaggerated but lately it seems like I find the cats playing with a lizard almost everyday. Sometimes it happens more than once in a day. I can only guess that they come in under the patio door, Chris or Puck finds them, asks them nicely if they want to play, and when hearing no reply (lizards can’t talk silly) bring them into the house for fun and games. It always seems to be a group event. Apparently they think they are pack animals like wolves.
This past week I had to dislodge three lizards from either Chris or Puck and put them outside. A couple more times I was too late.
The other day I walked by the bathroom and noticed Puck in the litter box and Chris standing next to it as if he was waiting his turn. Upon further inspection I noticed that Puck had brought a lizard into the box. I was too late to save it and I am not sure if it was a ceremonial burial that I interrupted.
And I thought I had seen it all..the ultimate in humiliating pop your nemesis in the toilet ….my girls are the lizard queens and lizard rescue season is fast approaching…..better get my running shoes on 😉
Where are you that you have lizards.
We live in rural Australia so Lizards,snakes,kangaroos echidnas we got it all 😉
That’s awesome. Love to come for a visit someday. 🙂
It’s a pretty awesome environment that’s for sure and as we approach Spring things start to move..the welcome swallows are nesting in the barn at the moment..we have had one lizard (skink) but soon Stumpy tails and blue tongue will arrive 🙂 now they are cool lizards 🙂 it’s a camera nuts paradise !
We are just entering fall here in Florida which is my favorite time of year. The weather cools a bit and the rains slow down but the Gulf water is still warm enough to swim in.
Sounds perfect! we have just started Spring and the whole state for two days has copped a battering with cold weather extreme wind gusts and rain…we need it to settle so we can do the pre fire season burn off…I love Autumn too the colors are wonderful 🙂 and boy I miss swimming..oh well 🙂
Here in S.C., we have these ugly “skank” lizards…they are nearly an inch wide and gross me out…fortunately, the “kids” keep them in check! Motley will just PARK over an area of the rear deck until one comes along! He also has brought me (inside) a few dragon flies this year…and they are big ones… 🙂
Why do cats feel compelled to bring everything inside?
Even though we own sort of lizards here, I’ll never be a big fan of them! They are cute, but feel so jelly!
I like lizards but I wouldn’t want one as a pet. You have to feed them insects and they aren’t affectionate like cats.
Reblogged this on Bad Cat Chris and commented:
We don’t get many lizards in our new home which is probably why Chris wants to go out all the time.
I’m sure Sam would have NO IDEA what a lizard was……bugs yes – lizards no. That’s fine with me………and honestly, in the 20 years we’ve lived here in this house I’ve seen a lizard ONCE.

You are probably better off without them.
That is funny that they were hiding the evidence. I am so glad I live in Massachusetts and don’t have lizards.
Man, ya just gotta love cats! ❤
So true.
