I literally sat there, watching them, for 10 minutes.

Yes, that cat seriously considered trying to catch the iguana. His brother caught a smaller one the day before and all four cats feasted on it. I guess he wanted to have a great dinner like that again. So he carefully and slowly crept closer and closer and tried to circle around to attack from behind.

When the iguana started to move its tail, I wondered how I could save the cat without being hit myself and I was ready to at least yell a warning. Iguanas can lash pretty hard with their tails. But apparently the cat already knew that. He ran off and left the iguana alone.

I’m not particularly fond of iguanas because they tend to take more than their share from my edible plants. I also don’t like eating them. They do taste like chicken, but there are way too many bones to my taste.

But I do think they are beautiful and very interesting to watch.
