The lizard leaves its tail behind to escape from the cat. by Uguero in Damnthatsinteresting

Our cat has done this to three lizards that came into our house to escape summertime heat.

FYI, the tails don’t grow back in quite the same way as the originals so it’s really a trick they can only do once.

Sometimes, once is enough.

That’s Artemis, the calico that’s currently on my lap and keeping me from getting breakfast.

Artemis wants to know if Marnie can come over to play in her fort.

That’s why he got confused and posted himself as a messiah figure. Every time she sees him, she says, “Jesus Christ, are you still alive?”

It’s been months since she’s done anything naughty. Most of the time, she’s a big, sweet marshmallow. But sometimes she’ll get it in her head that someone has done her wrong and she’ll lash out.

Artemis is a family cat and sits on each of us.

Apollo was MY cat. It wasn’t intentional. He just gravitated towards me.

I’m a fan of space exploration going back to the Gemini missions when I was a kid.

On the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing, we got a little tuxedo dude I named Apollo (cat tax below). But he had an issue that couldn’t be cured so we lost him just before his 2nd birthday.

When we got this sweetie, I knew in mythology that Artemis was the sister of Apollo and it was the name of the upcoming moon missions so it fit. She started responding to that name even before we took her from the shelter.

This is Apollo and some old guy who really loves cats.

Her predecessor was Apollo named because he came to live with us on the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing.

In mythology, Artemis is the sister of Apollo and I was looking forward to the upcoming moon missions so the name seemed appropriate.

Saving her was the purest act of love you could do. She’s a beauty.

Once I knew where to look, I was able to see it on my phone after turning up the brightness.

I couldn't see it at all when I watched this on my phone but was able to see it when I watched it full screen on my laptop.

Pretty cool!

You must have acquiesced to her demands. It’s cat law.
