Buffy and The Lizard
Actually, both of us and the lizard. In the seven years I've lived here
I've never had a lizard inside my house. There's a plastic box of music CD's under a small table against my dining room wall. Buffy was paying particular attention to it for some reason. I was sitting here reading email when she started bapping at the CD box. I decided to take a look. I moved the box. A skink! (lizard) Wow! I grabbed a napkin off the dining room table. Buffy and I worked in tandem to try to corner it. I didn't care which one of us won, I just wanted that lizard caught. Those suckers run fast! It got away from us. It is now loose somewhere in my bedroom. Buffy is on patrol. She's determined to find it. Last I saw it ran under my bed. I can tell you, I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight until I know that lizard is a goner. I'd like to be able to catch it and put it outside where it belongs. But if Buffy manages to kill it, that's okay too. I just hope she doesn't bring it up on the bed. Jill |

Jill We have lots of lizards here (East Texas)--green anoles, skinks, etc. I seldom see them in the house, but it has happened on occasion. I use a Kleenex and try to carefully pick one up and put it outside (just as you tried). They are fast little creatures, so it's difficult to catch them. However, any lizard that values it's life should not enter a house with 3 cats! MaryL |

I've never had a lizard in the house before. Not even the cute little green anole lizards. This one is a young blue-tailed skink. Quick as lightning. I figure it might go after her cat food or the water dish... if so, maybe she'll at least chase it out of the bedroom! Jill |

It sounds as though your household has just gotten 10x more exciting. Hopefully it'll find its way out the same way it got in. We don't have those around here, although it was quite exciting the one time a squirrel got into the house. |

I've never had a squirrel in the house, but I used to have indoor/outdoor cats, who brought in various critters, including birds, mice, rats, gophers and a baby bunny. The bunny was unharmed, and belonged to a neighbor who raised rabbits. We took it back to the neighbor. |
