Bask in Safety
A Lizard's Guide for How to Act Around Cats
#1 Don't be around cats
#2 Do not bask by the door. Cats come out of those doors.
#3 Run. Fast.
#4 If you reach a crevice where the cat cannot reach, stop. Do not turn around and run back past the cat. Remember, the perfect crevice is the enemy of the good enough crevice.
I must report, by way of obituary, that a lizard just violated all four of those guidelines.
