Really liked this one Kim. Brought back a memory of my cat Sonia years ago when she cornered our iguana one the screened in porch. It smacked her nose with it's tail and won the stand off. Thanks for sharing. God Bless, JB

Love it! I actually saw a cockroach cringe when my cat sported it so many years ago.

We have two cats and the male cat is quite the hunter of bugs and lizards in the house. He is quite persistent. Thanks for commenting, Kim!

Poor lizard. I haven't see a lizard in the house in a very long time but they will get inside sometimes. I like to watch them scurry along on the outside and sometimes two fight over territory. Thanks for the honor of placing in your contest and the visit to my page with a nice review. Sara

We have a couple lizards that appear on our living room window and drives the cat nuts. Thank you for stopping by, Sara!

Kim, All those tail-less toys. Lucky they grow back before retreat to the toy chest. -Richard

Just darling Haiku, Kim. I am a cat owner as well. All kinds of strange toys which she does not like! Irene loves to sit on top of the couch and watch a cat, who has taken up residence in my back yard. Funny, Kim, both are calicos)) Panagiota

I have two cats. One is black and white and one is a calico. The black and white one is the hunter in the family. Thanks for commenting, Pangie!
