Today I noticed Zoe going crazy playing with something. By the time I got up to see what it was, I saw a lizard dash under my TV stand. Zoe was still playing with half of its tail that she had bit off. Now I get to wait to see if Zoe or Miles will find it because I can't see anything or move anything to see where it is.

Hopefully if they do get it, they don't make a big mess.

Lizards seem to be smart. They know to let the cat have the tail, that should keep them occupied enough for him to make his escape.

I am so glad I live on the third floor! The cats get to LOOK at birds flying by...and I don't have to pickup after one of their "playtimes".

I do enough of that when I cat sit for my coworker....I am always getting to pick up at least one dead mouse everytime.

The lizard reappeared today, Zoe had it pinned down and I managed to get a hand towel and throw it outside. I think it was ok, but she could have messed up its back legs because it was moving fairly slow.

A lizard? Not a gecko? Could it sing and dance? If so, it was a gecko.
I used to get all kinds of geckos in my last house. Of course Alley would run from them and Persi just loved playing with them. But Persi never tried to eat one, guess he knew his toy would be gone if he did.

It was either a skink or a racer. Not sure if it got flushed out by one of the cats, but at least I had a chance to save it before it could have met an ugly death.
