Your kitty loves you so much, he's trying to teach you how to hunt. It's for your survival, so he thinks. You really should be honored by his thoughtfulness. Seriously, he's trying to teach you how to hunt for food. I would have a problem with any lizard, dead or alive, but my grandmother's cats always brought her lizards, too. Baby bunnies when they could so Grammy could butcher them and then feed the kitties their "treats."
My avatar, Romeo, is a mouser but thankfully doesn't love me enough to try to teach me how to hunt. He's an indoor cat who loves sneaking outside for an adventure.

He is starving all the time. When I feed him and his sister, he runs between her bowl and Penelupe's bowl and gulps his food down. Within three to five minutes he poops it all out. It is extremely runny and then it gets on him, so then I have to bathe him. We keep the litter box very clean. I sit and watch him eat and wait until he loses it and clean his box. When he is not eating, I check the box every half hour to make sure it is clean. At night I get up every 3 hours to check the litter box and clean it if I need to and give Bartholomew another bath. Our vet is going to a convention this weekend and said he would discuss his case at one of the senimars. He is checking with a specialist tomorrow. Does anyone have any suggestions? known of a case like this? (please don't tell me if you know a kitten that has died from this)

Little Lady catches the mice in our house and leaves us the heads in the middle of the floor.. YUCK!!!! But I praise her because I don't like the MICE... Traps don't work and I don't use any poison because she catches mice and eats them.
She also brings us bunnies, birds, & moles.

I am so sorry for laughing, we had a little cat named milk jug, it was my dads cat, and she did not want to be weened there for the name. but she brought everything to me alive, as she did not harm anything, I finealy just started telling her to put it down before I let her in, that last time it was a frog, she laid it down gently and it hopped away. I wish we still had her, but my oldest son was working in the garage a few years ago, and closed the door before he looked, she was under the door when he went back out. God bless.

That story brought back a memory from about 20 years ago. My first cat, Pebbles, came through the cat door one night with a VERY excited look on her face and laid something on the rug just inside the door. I thought it was a mouse until it started flapping it's wings and took off flying. It was a BAT!!! Then both cats were chasing the bat from one end of the house to the other and back while the bat was searching for a way out and I was hiding in the bedroom with the door closed. Finally, I called a friend who came over and simply opened the sliding glass door and waited until the bat circled back to the kitchen. The bat (having radar) flew right out the door! Why didn't I think of that??!!

Dear Buddy: I know you are only trying to be sweet and share your treasures, but as grammiepamie wrote to you, keep those special treaures hidden, because we humans are so squemish. Bless you and lots of hugs!
