    Mine are all indoor cats so I don't have that problem. But I can imagine my reaction if one of mine bought me a lizard. It wouldn't be good.

    What I want to know is who lets that cat in the house at night so he can put the lizards in your bed??? Or does he catch those inside your house???? EEEKKKKKK!!!!!

    My cats said to tell him to cut it out...they don't want me to know that cats actually "hunt" anything. The only effort my lazy cats put forth is to stand by their bowls and beg..loudly..for me to provide for them...

    Mine used to hunt during the day, but once brought a bleeding (dead) pidgeon, and the next time, half a young rabbit. Yuk! We had a little chat after that!

    Just a solution for a night time bed. Buddy, if you continue to play at night you will be made to entertain the bird.

    Kola has a companion, we think he lives next door. He comes over to dine and sometimes serenade Kola. A while back the food dish outside was empty (he ate it all earlier), he must have thought we ran out of food and couldn't share with him. So he lugged a freshly killed bunny about 3 months old up onto the shelf where the food dish sits.

    Kola will knock at the door if she has caught us dinner, she will come in and call us to eat. If we see the feast she has brought, we thank her for it, pretend we eat and then throw the little body away. If we aren't home at the time, we usually only get the stomach and a foot if we are lucky.

    We have a dog door, which he mastered at an early age. We cannot put the heavy wood slider over the door, which would lock Buddy in for the night, because the guy who installed the door didn't allow for the sill lip so the slider doesn't fit. We managed to find an alternative slider but the tenacious little bugger "worked" it off, several times, really loudly, at night, just as we were drifting off to sleep.

    I'm trying to talk my DH into KarenSimon's suggestion of waking him up when he tries to go to sleep during the day. He's retired, I'm still working, so he'd have to be the bad guy, but they nap together during the day so what do you think my chances are?

    And I don't appreciate having to get up and take a squirming, obviously ticked off, lizard outside to somewhere safe.

    And yes, this is a frequent occurrence. I guess I should be grateful it's only lizards???
    The first thing that comes to mind is why not shut the bedroom door?
