happy killings....

so i turn the water on to take a shower and this lizard darts up the side of the tub. ! "KITTIEEEEEEEEEESSSSS!!!!!!" nothing, so i go grab carlos, then realize i'll be very lucky if he doesn't mortally wound me as i'm carrying him toward the bathroom and the water is still running. surprisingly he stays calm. so i set him down on the toilet. turn the water off, lizard is still there. pick carlos back up to get him in a spot he can see the lizard, he fights a little, until he sees it, then he's on it. their tails come off really quickly, but carlos carries the rest of him off, so i don't care, i can take a shower now. get out of the shower, both cats are sitting in the hallway, no sign of the lizard. hmmmmmm. a little later they're both hunched over in the corner, ah, they were just taking a break. still later as i'm reading the paper i hear maggie burbling away, she does this when she's playing with things. it sounds different than her normal meowing cause her mouth is closed,though it still carries pretty well, but well anyway, she sounds happy.
