When I got the lizard last night he was pretty active, but this morning he was sluggish and unresponsive. I drove out to the zoovet as early as I could.

The vet picked him up, and we both groaned. Poking from the cut on his belly was a pink coil of intestines that had come out during the night. The cat had torn open the abdominal wall.

The vet weighed the little lizard (6 grams) and said "Poor little thing". The dragon opened his eyes, did a threat display at the vet, then just relaxed. We stared at the body for a moment, then the vet said "He just saved me the trouble of euthanasia."

Bloody cats.

I really like cats, and think they should live indoors, with a friend and lots of things to climb on.

Yes, I thoroughly agree. Our lease only provides for one cat, so we only have one cat, but she is (unusually for NZ) a completely indoor beastie.

Likewise! While we lack dragons here, they take a toll on songbird populations like nobody's business.

Bloody cats.
Bloody people who brought cats to Australia (and everywhere else they once weren't) and don't keep them indoors or at least leashed.

*sigh*

Stupid people who think cats must be Outside animals. It pisses me off.
