Just the other night I was on the phone with my Mom and we were dicussing confined-to-uber-small-apartment-kitty-boredom and pest control.
Aya's been doing a good job of keeping the giant tropical cockroaches and all other six-legged critters under control.
We humorously discussed me going to the pet shop and gifting her with a white mousy or two. Then my mom asked if I still had geckos in my apartment. I replied that I'd evicted the last one shortly before I found Aya 18 months ago and haven't seen any since but they'd probably make good cat entertainment since they move very fast. We were speculating about how long they would last vs. a very attentive cat. I never find bugs in my apartment anymore, least not live ones as she spots them all befor eI know they are there.
Well, lo and behold that night after talking to her I'm sitting on the toilet in the B-room. I always leave the door open as I live alone and Aya likes to drink from the b-room sink while I'm on it. I look out into the hall and there is a 2" long gecko sitting in the middle of the floor in the hallway, about 4 feet from where Aya is happily munching her kibble.
The gecko disappeared into my shoes before she saw it. Well, he reappeared tonight, and before I even noticed, she'd got him. She was having a plast playing with the dead carcass all over the apartment. All I found later were 'gecko bits', a head and an arm. I guess she ate the rest of him?...
He lasted less than a day.
