Me, My Cat and The Lizard !

3 am in the morning, I am laying on my bed reading The Bride (Bapsi Sidhwa), and enjoying every Bit of her composition skills, when my cat suddenly pounces on the lamp which was placed strategically between my and my mom's bed to Illuminate my book only resulting in a shifted light angle which now Illuminates my mom and the cat on her side with a lizard in his mouth.
As soon as I saw this I stood up quickly and shouted on top of my voice " Mom! Get up!! The Cat's Got a lizard in his Mouth…." and almost suddenly she flung away the blanket and got off the bed, By this time the cat had already jumped on the carpet was headed towards the kitchen, so we followed him quickly and blocked his way. I got hold of a small cane and mom held a Broom ( Gharoo). Realizing that he had no chance to enter the Kitchen he raced upstairs to my little "study cum studio" Room and we chased after him. Upon reaching the Study/studio Room we found out that the cat had lost the Grip on the lizard and the half dead thing crawled under my Corner Drawers set. while the cat was Struggling to Grip his pry back, I tilted the Drawers and settled it down side ways, Now I was in side this tiny Room, my Mom just standing Outside the door beside which is this drawer, As soon as I Exposed the underside of the Drawer My cat once again got hold of his pry. Only this time for some strange reason he headed towards me with an almost dead Lizard in his Mouth. I hate Lizards specially when they are half dead and stuck in a cat's Jaw .. So I had no place to run now, seeing my cat approaching me I climbed up on the side table. And said " Shooo !! Shooo.. Get away from me, That’s not my food, eat it or Drop it " .. At that point I think he totally Understood me and agreed to cooperate By racing away and down stares. Where we quickly followed him and let him out in the garden. In the Middle of the Grass he once again let go of his almost dead pry and I quickly covered with a broom ( Gharoo ).. Mom Gripped the cat while I killed the already half dead Lizard and Tossed in the garbage can Out side ( yeah there are no Garbage cans outside, in Karachi and yeah! I Just tossed it Outside and I know it did not land on anyone's head, It just went to our Mini green area right out side).. But the drama does not end here, we Brought the car in and after having a 4am Snack got ready to go to bed again. As I was about to Climb my bed I felt something wet and soft between my feet and the mat, mom turned on the Light and there it was .. I had Squashed a Lizard EGG and the other one was also just there :( .. I washed my feet .. Left the mat out so that it could be washed later, and after an other 4:30 am Quick Snack of a Mars Bar . We finally went to sleep at 5:00 am ..
In the morning at about 9:00 after breakfast we started investigating how the lizard got in our house Only to find that the Screening net of one of the windows to the garden side was damaged.
This Lizard was the one in our garden who used to live by the parrots. So The Lizard is gone, The breach in the Screening is filled and the security is foolproof again .. No Lizards in the house and one outside will remain there for good all thanks to one Brave Cat.. :)
