I’ve started letting the cats go out in the back yard on occasion as they yowl if I don’t and they stay mostly inside the fence. The reason, of course, is to hunt lizards. At first, I felt bad for the lizards, but I’ve realized that the silly things aren’t scurrying off to safety like any normal pint-sized creature. Instead, they fight back! I’ve rescued a few and I have to actually toss them in the bushes to get them to leave. You just know they go home and tell their buddies, “I could have taken the cats if their mom hadn’t shown up!”
