Lily got into mischief again. She is a 100% indoor cat, but I live in a condo that has a screened balcony. Off the balcony is a small storage room which unfortunately seems to be a refuge for common Florida lizards. Not sure where they come from -- there must be some sort of hole in the wall. I am totally sure that these are lizards and not mice or rats.
Anyway, this morning I noticed lizard droppings on the balcony floor through the sliding glass door, and as I picked up the broom to go sweep up the mess Lily ran past me and ATE a bunch of droppings! UGH! She was much too fast for me to stop her. I then pushed her inside, closed the glass door and proceeded with my sweeping.
I know that eating lizards can be dangerous for cats, but are lizard droppings dangerous too? Obviously I'm going to watch her and take her to the vet if I notice anything unusual, but I wanted to run this by you expert cat lovers in the meantime.
From 12-inch ribbons to lizard poop, Lily eats it all, yikes!
