Lizards don't stand a chance with a persistant cat. My cat, Bounder brought home 2 lizards about 5-6" long this summer. He didn't kill them or eat them, just left them on the back steps. The first one died from a puncture wound but the second one got away. I brought the cat in when I saw he had the lizards to give them a chance to get away.

That crazy cat even brought home a baby snake!!! It was brown with markings. I'd never seen a snake like that before and was concerned that it might be poisonous. I captured it in a jar and took it up the street to a Vet and asked if anyone could identify it. I was told it was a garter snake. The only garter snakes I've ever seen were green. When I got back home, I searched on the computer for garter snakes, sure enough that was what Bounder brought home. I put the snake in a critter box (small plastic container specifically for small reptiles), and sent it to school with my daughter. I thought it'd make a interesting science lesson. The class loved the snake and the lesson. The teacher christened the snake Snickers (after his favorite candy bar). After the lesson, the kids released the snake into the woods behind the school.
