    Like I said, I can handle just about anything (mice, rats, spiders, ants, etc). There's just something about lizards and grasshoppers that I can't handle.
    Those wouldn't bother me but Spiders freak me out!

    Snakes.........eghhhh not too crazy about either.

    Mice don't bother me, lizards wouldn't either- the big ones would freak me out a bit but they seem like they would keep the distance, they remind me of dinosaurs.

      I guess I've gotten used to most things and lizards are the least of my worries...

      Every morning I get up and find either a dead wild mouse/rat or mole laying next to the cat food bowl... Husband says they prefer more variety .

      Sometimes it's birds... Usually moles... Rats... Mice.... Voles....

        We don't see many wild lizards here in Ontario, but I think it would creep me out. Spiders are my problem. I have to hold my breath and scoop him up in tissues and flush it.
        Our rotten cat brought us a live baby bird the other day. Sheeeeeeesh. We had no idea where it belonged

          Had a cat who would bring in live chipmunks. Looked dead till he put them down by our feet and they ran off through the house.

            That's my dd. She has no idea what her cat is going to bring in. Usually it's mice, rats, moths, or birds. Not too long ago, she found a baby possum in her living room.

              Many of the lizard that live around my house do not have tails. (cat likes to catch but not kill them) When a DC kid sees a tailless lizard they say "oh Charlie (the cat) must of been playing with him!"

                We have a few resident possums but the cats leave them alone. We have wild rabbits too etc because they all come up to eat the deer food and sweet feed we out out for our pet deer. Occasionally we get coons too. But he cats prefer smaller game. Tux our no tail cat is the main catcher. He kills them and brings them in. None of the animals eat any of the caught food though.

                We leave our dog door open at night so that's why we get so many surprises .

                This morning at 4:00 am my daughters dog went out to potty and trapped a grown possum under the house. Then out went husbands dog to help. I finally called them off of the possum and back into the house and locked the dog door .

                  My beautiful (declawed) Kelsey-kitty brought to me in my bedroom a live rabbit. Thanks, Kels.

                    Laurel called it! Dozens and dozens of them,.everywhere you go. I will let a live lizard run around the house if they get in, they eat ants. They are totally harmless and don't bother anyone. They do work their way out eventually.
