Disclaimer: Except for one slightly mutilated tail (which, by nature, is thankfully designed to fall off), no lizards were harmed in the making of this movie.
My cat Tabby is an indoor cat, but she loves to hang out in the garage because that’s where she can practice her hunting skills.
What the heck lives in our garage that she can hunt?
Creatures. Of the reptile variety. a.k.a. Lizards!
It’s always a big event when she makes the first catch of the season. Usually she makes it well before now, though. And usually she doesn’t leave so many twitching lizard parts lying around.
Since I caught the massacre (or at least the aftermath) on film, I decided to turn it into a Creature Feature of sorts. (Remember weekend Creature Features? The ones pre-cable late night TV used to show on Friday or Saturday nights back in the day?)
Enjoy!
Note: Regardless of how it appears in the video, lizards don’t make me squeamish. But I do think it’s a little gross when their detached parts keep twitching. Oh, and the lizard was safely relocated back outside alive.
Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
Speaking of mystical, to learn how Courtney channeled her battle with cancer to conjure up this site, check out HJ’s Origin Story.

OMG, Courtney, that was so funny especially your response to the wiggling lizard parts.
I’ve never seen her get that other part of the tail off before. She normally just gets the main part (like the 2nd tail in the video). But not an upper part. So I thought that stub was pretty gross. And the don’t normally stay so squirmy. Ick! Thanks for the comment!
