Little Green Lizard

The lizard who lived

When Arthur was out on the balcony/porch this morning I noticed him staring intently at the tree near the railing.  Of course I had to go out and take a look because that could only mean one of two things - either he is crazy or he's staring at some bug/lizard/animal type thing.  Arthur's sole purpose (besides sleeping in 100 degree heat on the balcony) is catching bugs/lizards/etc.  He's already caught two lizards, one of which lived and the other did not.  The first lizard that he caught (and lived) he brought inside.  Yeah, that was an interesting morning for me.  I was not happy to have my cat bringing in a lizard friend to play with, but I was able to rescue that lizard.  The second lizard wasn't as lucky since by the time I checked on Arthur on the balcony the lizard had been played with too much.  I was sad about that lizard, so I've been more vigilant about checking on him while he's been outside.  I guess this was my long way of saying that this morning Arthur was staring intently at a lizard and there is no doubt in my mind that he would have lured him onto the balcony and caught him.  After shooing Arthur inside I grabbed my camera to capture a photo of the little lizard who lived.

Tune in tomorrow for a knitting update!
