Mommy Took Away Their Toy!!
Yesterday I walked downstairs to get some medicine when I noticed Jessie,
Sammy, Ozzy, and Archer gathered around and staring intently at a cat bed laying on the floor of my bedroom. I walked over to see what they were so interested in and saw, crouched as far under the edge of the cat bed as he could get, a lizard - sans tail (I don't even want to think about where that tail went)! OK, I'm a softie and I can't stand to watch my cats torment another living creature. I grabbed up Ozzy in one arm, Archer in another arm, and was trying to field Sammy and Jessie with one foot (I'm not that great a soccer player, so this was a pretty useless endeavor). This left remarkably few limbs free with which to grab the lizard for rescue (not even counting the fact that I was a bit squeamish about picking up a tail-less lizard with my bare hands). Ozzy and Archer were squirming frantically in my arms, and it was almost impossible to hold them - especially while hopping around on one foot while trying to push Sammy and Jessie off the lizard with the other. I tried putting them down on my bed, but it only took about 2 micro-seconds for them to get back down and back to the lizard. Finally, I picked up the cat bed and threw it over the lizard in hopes of thwarting my crew for the few minutes it would take me to unlock my bedroom door and get a piece of toilet paper with which to pick up said lizard. With toilet paper in hand, I tried to body block the cats while I picked up the cat bed to grab the lizard. The lizard was lying on the floor belly up and unmoving. Oh well, I thought, too late - but I did give it a good try. I didn't want anyone eating the lizard and then puking it up on my carpet, so I picked up the lizard anyway and placed him on my deck outside my bedroom. He was still laying belly up, unmoving. I turned around to get my keys to lock the door again, and when I turned back around the lizard was nowhere to be seen. *Very* good acting job on his part. And I'm glad he made a successful get-away. He'll probably grow his tail back in no time and, hopefully, stay out of my house in the future. -- Hugs, CatNipped /\.../\ ( '.' ) (")_(") Visit all my masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/ |

As punishment, I predict that you will find the tail, properly digested and horked up, on your pillow when you to bed tonight LOL (I probably would have done the same thing, but not is such a comical way Mainly as I am not that squeamish, and would have just grabbed said lizard and removed it from the house/proximity of cats... ) -- ^..^ This is Kitty.

Oh, yes. Leila knows all about cruel two-legs who steal toys like that. This house is not sealed as hermetically as I would like for two reasons: it gets *hot* in the summer in Florida, and heat leaking in runs the electric bill up higher than I like to think about due to the impossibility of living without air conditioning; and the place does, occasionally, leak a lizard or two. Those are usually the little Cuban anoles - small enough that I think they're still females (anoles are born female and change sex if and as they grow). It was so bad for a while that I went out to buy a butterfly net - not to emulate Nabokov, but to snag lizards. The trick is either to a) catch them before Leila notices them (hah!) or, at least, b) catch them before she has done too much damage to them. Fortunately, the skinks seem to prefer the heat of the garage and don't come into the house.... snip Baird -- You can fool some of the people all of the time, and in a divided country that's enough to win elections. -Bill Steele |
