Maybe I ought to take a camera with me....
This morning when I was cleaning litterboxes, Calypso the cat was doing the ususal morning crazies, but then I notice that she was actually chasing something.
In the water dish was a gecko (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediterranean_house_gecko) staring back at me.Took the whole thing outside telling it I would keep it safe from big furry monsters, and poured the contents out. Not quite sure how little gecko got in, as Calypso does have a habit of bringing in her interactive toys and then loosing them. At least this one was released alive.
Good thing I'm not squeamish. I save lizards almost every other day from her. Heeere lizard lizard lizard....

Sun - Colin is a love, such a dignified soul! He's got his own GSD harem, too. I bet he keeps those two in line!

Life is better with a cat on your lap
...especially mornings.
I swear, in every photo she is motionless and fast asleep.
Her name is now Lyra, btw, after the young, brave and friendly heroine of the Golden Compass books.
Oh, and we've reopened the cat flap our last cat used. She took to it immediately, with great joy. In, and out. In. And out! And in! Cat flaps rule

Lyra's a beauty! I love it when cats sleep with their legs hanging over the edge, like they have no cares in the world. She's obviously very happy.
