I know, I know - ask the Vet - will do that when I stop in to say hello on Monday but though some here may have a clue.

Our putty-tat was out on the lanai and got to chasing a gecko, which I have since relocated out to the yard but some are poisonous depending on the variety and location. Anyone know about the local ones?

Our cat has cleaned the lanai of them...no idea how many he has eaten but it is a lot. No problems in the last 4 years, so I guess they are good eats

On Occasion they seem to upset her stomach.. There are toads here, that are poisonous enough to be an issue for dogs..
Our cats have always been Inside Cats .. we are not feeding birds so they are easy prey for the cats.. I have sprayed with a hose , someones cat who was on my property so much trying to kill birds, that yesterday he showed up wearing a rain jacket I think I need a bigger hose

Oh, our cat is NOT an outdoor cat, nor will she be! The enclosed lanai is as far as she goes period and that's only if one of us is out there.

Our cats live for catching a lizard in the lanai. And when they do, I've never seen them actually eat one; they just play with it. If we see them catch one, we'll usually chase the cat down and get the lizard from it's mouth, throw it outside (the lizard, not the cat), and give it praise (the cat, not the lizard).
Usually we find the tail detached and still wiggling around so I guess they have no interest in eating that part and the lizard itself they'll take inside if we don't stop them and usually deposit it in our closet among our shoes, I'm guessing to give them more of a challenge in catching it again?? I think to date we've only found one dead; the rest we'll find alive although minus tail. If they are eating some that we don't know about they haven't shown any ill effects from it.

Well, good question, I dunno. Little lizard, brown. Lost it's tail - that's about what I know. Haven't seen any more in the lanai area at this house (yet).
