It appears that putting a cat and a lizard in the same room is like a disaster waiting to happen. These reptiles are not very big and move around a lot, so they are easy prey for most cats that still have wild instincts.
Amazingly, from what you can see in the images below, it’s not that easy. These cold-blooded creatures don’t give up so easily to furry hunters. And conversely, cats and lizards can sometimes be unusual friends.
The logic of this kind of friendships is usually very complex. From cats that think they are lizards, to lizards clinging to a cat’s chin fighting for their lives, these are some of the most striking encounters between these two species.
