Little friend in my garden

Subject: Little friend in my garden Wed May 08, 2013 4:58 am

Hey guys, today I spent some time with my cat outside my house, and this is what I found on a pile of planks :) It was quite big and lovely! At the first sight I thought it was a branch (I was without my glasses, so everything around me was a bit blurry), but I've noticed the shape of a lizard. So I had grabbed my camera and took some pictures before it hid.

What a lovely, beautyful lizard !!!!

Look at those little toes , and the beautyful pattern on his sides I love you

Your kitty is beautyful, too !
How did you teach her to walk on a lead ? Shocked

Mine always go completely perserk if I try to teach them, they jump and roll, and fight and hiss. Or just lie down and refuse to move What a Face

Some cats just hate it and some don't. My cats don't care about it (however, they would like to walk without it anyway). You can try to play with your cat while he's/she's wearing it or give some food to change their interest :) It needs some patience though.

I guess it will! Citation from Wikipedia:
House centipedes feed on spiders, bed bugs, termites, cockroaches, silverfish, ants, and other household arthropods.
If it eats ants and spiders, it does not make any benefits for the environment scratch

Agata, let me guess, your cat forgot his glasses and ended eating the lizard thinking it was a centiped! cat

Well, although women only have two feet, they always need to put a shoes shop upside down to choose just a single pair of shoes. I wonder how it works with a female centiped??? ... scratch

Exactly! The most boring type of shopping for us guys is when the girls want a new pair of shoes!
