Sam and the Lizard
From spring through fall we tend to see a lot of lizards round our neck of the woods. They enjoy climbing up the outside of the doors, and some even make it inside the house, providing a great source of entertainment for the cats. And for the humans too, especially since the cats don’t seem to understand that as long as the lizard stays outside on the screen in front of the door, there’s no way on God’s green earth they will ever catch it. Case in point:
Sam sees the lizard. He sits waiting, tail swatting the air, heart thumping, ready to pounce… timing his moment… waiting… waiting… waiting…
Crap he got away!
Awww, poor kitty! And lucky lizard.
Well, like I said, Sam didn’t stand a chance. For some reason cats can’t see glass and screen doors as obstacles. They think they have super powers that enable them to pass through solid objects… until they try to pass through solid objects. The lizard was safe. Sam was stupid… but cute. 🙂
My roommate’s cat does that with the spiders we get building webs in the windows. She’ll even stick her head between the slats of the blinds, just to get a better view. And then we have a lot of squirrels, so sometimes I’ll hear her gallup across the downstairs to the back window to watch them. Cats are so funny…
Cats are the best. Even when they do stupid stuff. 🙂 Does the cat seriously think she can get these spiders and squirrels? Do cats not get the concept of glass? I don’t think they do… and that’s what makes them adorable! 🙂
That’s so cute!
Isn’t he? 🙂
