Lizards!

I can't believe how incredibly excited my kitty gets over lizards. I mean, it's sorta like this:

Object           Excitedness level
Kitty toy        ######
Food             #########
Lizard           #################################################################################

There was one on the ceiling today, and he kept looking up at it from the ground, totally transfixed. He even started meowing at it, and pacing around staring at it as it crawled across the ceiling. The lizard then fell off the ceiling and Lynxie chased it like it was the last lizard on earth. I rescued the lizard (amusing as this is, I don't believe in lizardcide) and released it outside, but wow.

Outdoor cats must go absolutely batshit insane; there's tons of lizards out there!

I do wonder about the meowing, though. I doubt meowing at your prey is an effective hunting strategy...
