When I got home, there was a lizard in the sink. I saw it when I first walked in to the kitchen, a quick movement in my right periphreral vision. I dismissed it as a halucination because I just worked 11 hours. Then I saw it again — it was small, 6, 7 centimeters, including the tail, which was intact, so I don't think the cat had been at it. It was also brown, and its head seemed bulbous. Almost too big.
I spent some time chasing it back and forth in the sink, but it could not climb the wall, except with my unwitting assistance. I pressed it against the wall in an attempt to grab it, and the added pressure gave it enough friction to almost escape the sink!
But I eventually did capture it. I grasped it firmly right between it's legs and it went into torpor, sure it was about to be eaten. When I took it to the front porch, it paused for a second in disbelief, I'm sure. Then it ran along the concrete wall and jumped to the ground.
On the way back in, I teased the cat with lizard smell on my fingers.
