When my DH came in from outside yesterday a gecko lizard came in with him. Quicker than a speeding bullet, Oliver pounced toward it. Fortunately the lizard was already behind the fridge. I knew it was only a matter of time...
Abouut 1:30 in the morning I heard a crash. I ran into the living room. It was my keys (actually a lot of keys) falling from the table to the floor. Tripod was on the table and Oliver was on the floor about a foot from the lizard, who no longer had a tail.
I lunged at it cupping my hand so I could catch it. I was more shocked than the kitties, I think, that I actually caught it on the first try. Only...now what do I do? I knew I couldn't get out of the locked door with it because I needed 2 hands to unlock the door. I thought awhile with both cats staring at me, just waiting for me to release it.
Then I spotted it... my husbands lunchbox! I slid across the floor trying not to move the hand with the lizard under it. I could barely reach it, but I GOT IT!!! Then I popped the lizard into the lunchbox and zipped it up. I went outside and released the poor little tailless thing and went back in the house.
Oliver and Tripod were staring at me. I looked at them and said THATS why I'm the mommy!!!
