I knew it wouldn’t be long before Chris and Frankie figured out how to slip out the door in our new home. It happened on Thursday when both escaped on separate occasions.
I don’t worry about Chris because he is mostly interested in eating grass and hunting lizards. I do worry about Frankie because he is an explorer and I fear he will get lost in an unfamiliar neighborhood. We also live in a neighborhood where cats are not allowed outside. I am not sure you can legally allow dogs outside but not cats, even leashed cats, but I would prefer not to draw attention from busybody neighbors.
When Chris got out, I didn’t try to catch him right away because it was clear he was not interested in leaving the area. I probably should have, because before I knew it, he had a lizard in his mouth and was ready to go in. It was a real pain trying to get him to give up the lizard. Three or four times I got it out of his mouth, only to have get away from me and him catch it again.
I recorded the first attempt but had to put the phone down so I had a better chance of saving the lizard, which I eventually did with one slightly shorter tail.
When Frankie got out I was lucky. He was disoriented and while he was trying to figure out which way to run, I grabbed him and put him inside.
gotta love those two! Kitties on a mission!!!!
They are sure relentless.
Never a dull moment. I hope you find a way to keep them safe.
Thanks. I hope so.

I do need exercise but a nice bike ride would be better.
You guys have barely started settling into your new place and Chris already caught his first lizard? I am impressed!
Me too, and the lizzards seem bigger here.
Chris does love his lizards 🙂
I think I need to find a toy lizard.
Uhoh………this is bound to happen in new surroundings….after all, “boys will be boys” !!!!! Good thing you were able to capture and release (back inside of course!).

Yep. Same stuff, different house. 🙂
Hahaha good to see Chris has made friends already…..sort of hahahah 🙂
He really is something. 🙂
That he is bless him 🙂
Someone is trying to keep you on your toes haha 😉
Granny does that to me too…but when there’s a frog involved, she get’s the broom and pulls me inside 😀 Glad to hear that the cats stayed near the house. Pawkisses for a Happy Day 🙂 ❤
I understand. Some frogs are poisonous to cats, or maybe that’s toads, either way, you are probably better off staying away from them.
Escape from Catalcatrez… the plan is already in motion my friend. Snorts with laughter. XOXO – Bacon
Reblogged this on Bad Cat Chris and commented:
Here is a post for Throwback Thursday from May of 2015. It was right after we moved into our new home, which was two homes ago.
You had luck on your side…..the lizard distracted Chris and kept him close for “eventual” capture and Frankie was confused enough that you got him before he figured things out!
Hugs, Pam
Sometimes I do get lucky. 🙂
Maybe Chris is telling you he would like another roommate? LOL
I am sure he would love a lizard roommate but don’t think the lizard would be as enthusiastic about it.
Ha ha. So, so true.
