LEAPIN' LIZARDS!
Lately, I’ve been finding lizards in the house that my cats bring in. I find the lizard in the middle of two or three of my cats. That’s gotta be fun for the lizard. I think my cats just wanna play with it. It’s a game they call, “Whack the Lizard with Your Paw.” And the poor lizard just wants to play a game where he’s not the one who gets whacked... like Monopoly or hopscotch. When I saw the little lizard, it wasn’t moving... I heard they play dead. Apparently, they have some theatrical training. They stay in character, too, ‘cause they play dead all the way until I take ‘em back outside. Then they give me a little wink and I let ‘em go. Lizards are smarter than people think. They can also change their colors. This one’s chest turned bright blue. Either that or it was choking. I did see another lizard giving it the Heimlich maneuver. You’d think that when they made it back home, they would warn other lizards and spread the news. “Hey, word on the street is stay away from that sliding door... the one with the cats and old lizard tails.” I don’t know why the cats are bringing them inside. Maybe they’re trying to show off the house... “Here’s the living room... this is where I sleep... and if you go like this, “Meeooowww,” that lady’ll feed you.

I agree with sarah. I think they think it's some wonderful present.My cat's used to do it all the time, they'd leave mice and moles on the rug in front of the door....which when i was younger my mother made me pick up and take them outside. I got used to it. They kill them but, They don't eat them, which makes it worse!!! I had to remove them from the outside too...I'd pick em up by the tail with a leaf an then put them on this little blue skate board(which i never used cuz i had no balance) and push them across the street and bury them. I used to lie to my mom and tell her I threw them in the woods! She told me to do that but I felt bad.
