When Lizards Fight Back


Martha likes to go outside on the screened-in back porch and catch lizards. She is excellent at catching them. When she gets them, she brings them to the glass door and starts meowing (with them in her mouth). She acts like she is bringing me a present - thanks but no thanks! She never kills the lizards. She just likes to play with them. Well today...a lizard fought back! As you can see in the picture (taken from inside the house of course) the lizard clamped down on Martha's paw. Martha didn't know what to do. She was just standing there meowing with her paw in the air - with the lizard still hanging on. The lizard would not let go! The lizard hung in there - I have to say for maybe about 45 seconds. After it had let go Martha didn't play with him anymore. She was ready to come back inside. The lizard had won! Don't worry - Martha is just fine (maybe except her big ego - which needed to deflate a little bit anyway)!
