He meowed to show me this...

That morning I was indoors and the door was open, the way it usually is.
I heard his repeated meows, gentle but persistent.  I finally decided that the cat was summoning, and so I went out to see Mr Sweet Pants with his lizard.

Wow!  "Good Boy", I said.  This must be his first lizard!

He looked at it,

touched it with gentle paws to make it move,

held it in place gently when it wanted to run away,

watched it with curiosity,

tried to engage it in some game!  This went on for quite some time.

I have to admit that I have yet to see a more relaxed lizard.

He picked it up gently to move to another place for chasing, he sniffed it and kissed it.

Clever boy placed his paw on the tail just to make sure.

A very lazy lizard, thought Augustus to himself.

Finally, he decided that this was not all that interesting, and shared this with me,

“Learning to let go should be learned before learning to get. Life should be touched, not strangled. You’ve got to relax, let it happen at times, and at others move forward with it.” 

― Ray Bradbury

which I found to be too profound for a cat.

Ollie thought that this was all too strange, and did not know what had to be touched and not strangled.

The two wondered "what next?"

I thought it interesting that their genetic information bank did not have much information on lizards but a lot on birds, fish and mice, bugs, butterflies and rabbits.

Cat boys sent you sweet greetings!

Ciao everyone!

PS- the lizard was not harmed and went its merry way later that day
