Naughty pussy cat. At least gecko can grow another tail. I miss hearing geckos on the ceiling. Ha ha SuZ

They are resourcefully feisty for their size as pictorially noted, the lizards do hang on once their clamped and that'll cause the cat to remedy an unclamping, besides mauling a face to get the clamper off, Suz. Aloha, William

Geckos are very brave for their size. I enjoyed you Haiku, William. Aloha, my friend. Bill

Wow! Quite the unique battle! I had a gecko fall out when I opened my medicine cabinet (years ago). We left our gecko alone.

A bit of a habit shared by most lizard breeds, called 'tail dropping', anything to keep moving on in life, Kim. Aloha, William
