Lip........Stick

So last night, I'm sitting in my usual spot (at the computer) doing my usual thing (fartsing around) when the usual quiet is disturbed by a very unusual noise. It was somewhere between a whine and a wail, with a bit of whimper towards the end....and it kept getting louder and louder.
So I listened.
And I'm thinkin'.....
"Does'nt sound like a bird.
But we do have an awful lot of weird sounding birds around here.
Remember the freakin' peacock?
Maybe it's a bird.
It'd be a damn big bird tho.
Naw, can't be a bird.
A dog?
Could be a dog.
Yeah, like a dog could get within 10 feet of this place without the cats tearing down the door running for cover.
Besides...a dog would bark.
One would think anyway.
Ok, not a dog.....maybe one of the horses got hurt??
What does a horse sound like when it's hurt?"
........and then it hit me......
the noise had a strangely familiar sound to it...but I couldn't quite put my finger on it...so I had to get my lazy ass up and go investigate.
So I go open the front door and what do I find???
My cat Monkey sitting on the doorstep with a 6 inch lizard stuck to his lip. Just dangling there.
Ouch.
Damn thing wouldn't let go either, I had to pry it's little jaws open....which was an interesting task.
The lizard was no worse for the wear, though clearly not fond of being used as a cat toy.....
Monkey's lip is a bit tender...I'm thinkin' he won't be playing with any reptiles for awhile.
