Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / June 2006RIP litte lizard
An unfortunate lizard (or even gecko, it was impossible to tell) made its way into the enclosure overnight. All that was left this morning was a chewed-up body on the hallway. Basho was very intently looking at it, and I'm sure he played with it before I tossed it. :( How come they'll happily eat a bug but not a lizard?  SignatureVictor M.

I could easily start a thread called "RIP 300 little lizards". Vino ate about 50% of them though. SignatureBritta Purring is an automatic safety valve device for dealing with happiness overflow.

From the looks on our cats faces, most lizards don't taste good. Jo > > An unfortunate lizard (or even gecko, it was impossible to tell) made its > > way into the enclosure overnight.

They sit by the door, for hours, practically drooling, waiting for one to aimlessly wander in. If one does, it's a goner. kili >>> An unfortunate lizard (or even gecko, it was impossible to tell) >>> made its way into the enclosure overnight.

I've lived in west TN for almost 30 years and never before spotted a lizard! They are all over where my parents live in SC. Persia would have been pumped to see a lizard!

I see them occasionally here in Nashville, mostly young skinks with long blue tails. SignatureJohn F.

Beastie used to go out after dinner for a lizard Dessert. Frogs, OTOH, don't taste good, I saw the old Siamese try one, ever see a cat trying to wipe the taste out of his mouth?

Norm LOL, yes. But frogs seem to be good enough for humans. :) Joyce > An unfortunate lizard (or even gecko, it was impossible to tell) > made its way into the enclosure overnight.

A few hours ago I let the cats out into our enclosure, and I did some housework while they sat outside. After a while I saw Scarlett circling something and then I saw a patch of fur. My first thought was a bunny nest, so I went to get her and the others in to check it out. Well, it was a full grown bunny, very dead. Inside the enclosure. I thought it must have been in there and someone killed it. So I shut the door so they couldn't go out until I could clean it up. Ick. I felt very bad that I didn't notice a bunny in there when they went out, and it was basically a sitting duck against four hunters. :( When I went to go dispose of it, I discovered that it wasn't a recent kill (I know you know how I knew that. UGH!) Now I need to know where the breach is that is letting in wildlife, especially a full grown rabbit. First the dove, now a rabbit. It must be near the ground. If they can get in, my cats can surely get out. I can't bring myself to dispose of the carcass yet because it's really gross. Somehow I have to keep the bile down and just do it. It must have died sometime between last weekend and today. SignatureCheryl Poor lizard. He can RIP with the skinks from my garden that Cherry used to catch, bring inside and play with. She doesn't do that any more; is it beneath her diginity? A funny lizard and mushroom story: My classroom is in a round building in the basement, hence no windows, and we have pretty high groundwater. A couple of summers ago I went into the classroom in mid-August to get something (of course school hadn't been open for a month or so) and found a gecko on the cupboard where I keep the Orff xylophones, and a huge patch of mushrooms in the middle of the carpet! I kid you not! I delivered the gecko to outside, and told Maintenance about the mushrooms. We had a good laugh. Cantate >An unfortunate lizard (or even gecko, it was impossible to tell) We don't have geckoes around here, so I'm not real sure, but I think the only way to be certain if it is a gecko is if you hear it speaking with a Cockney accent.

All the geckos around my dad's house in Florida have cockney accents. They gather around the bbq at night, eating bugs and drinking beer, and singing soccer songs. ;) Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh Make Levees, Not War |
