Lizard kabob!
Now I am not condoning eating lizard personally, but the cats seem to like it…
It is a good thing we have a lot of lizards here, because the cats love stalking them, and eating them.
Personally I would have to be starving to put a skinny little reptile on the cuisine list, but that is just me.
The cats, mostly Fred and Leo, spend hours hunting them. I think it is probably because of their success rate with squirrels though. Hard to believe any animal capable of taunting a cat and surviving, but the little buggers do it on a daily basis!
Normally they do it from a distance that one would swear was lethal, back turned, and seemingly unaware of the impending feline rush… So far the cats have only managed to catch one, and he got away. He only moved ten feet up a tree before heckling the cats pride, but to a cat, looking at a squirrel, ten feet might as well be a mile.
The squirrels have even been known to let the cat out climb them, and then wait below only to rush past the gravitationally challenged cat hanging on with all four paws. It’s a good thing the cats don’t cooperate in their hunting….

I must say I thought you were eating lizards lol. It is surprising to think there are any little furry animals cats cant really catch as cats seem so very agile and fast.
