Apparently Mr. Sticky Toes was killed in my absence.  My dad, upon finding a gecko tail on the ground in the kitchen ,stumbled upon my shattered glass cage. After putting two and two together, he figured the cat knocked over the cage and ate my Crested Gecko. This is what happens in my absence. Not only that, but one of my Leopard Geckos escaped. Its not my Dad's fault, but its funny how these things happen when I'm away. RIP- Mr. Sticky Toes - December 22, 2007 - February 20, 2009 |

That sucks, I'm sorry. Stupid cats... See when I tell you they're bad? ;D Maybe sticky got away... Has your dad checked in cool places, and maybe under or on top of the fridge?  You cat may have only gotten his tail. |

Truly, truly sorry. That is a sucky homecomming present.....maybe find your cat and kindly explain that you're contemplating a home cooked chinese meal, and are wondering where one might acquire the meat on short notice, then glare meaningfully at him.....

Actually I was very glad to see Simba.  Its just his instinct to kill. Besides, we don't even know for sure if it was him. |

How many other cats do you have?  "It is his instinct to kill" You really do love your cat more than your reptiles. I am sorry. If you send them to me, they can receive proper love. ;D |

I love all my animals the same. We have 5 Cats.
I take more of an interest in Reptiles, but I don't love any of my animals less or more then the others.
Nah,my Reptiles would probably die from malnutrition (Kidding) ;D

I love cats too, cats are good food, mmm. Just like cambells soup---MMM MMMM good...
I am not a cat fan, but Tyrannus is right, it was just his instinct. This is what can happen when you house the predators and prey items in close quarters. My terrier goes after anything smalish that runs from her, like cats. She does not really know what she wants to do with them, but her instincts tell her to chase them so she does. Animals are more pure than humans in this think, they just do what they do.
Just like carniverous animals all through time are just doing what they were built to do. Rex and its kin are not really blood thirsty serial killers, they are just animals operating on survival instinct...to eat.
I am sorry about your pet though.

Why spam this thread? I agree this is the the second time I've seen this same thing in an inappropriate thread. Sorry for your lost Tyrannax. How long do Geckos live? |

Well, I'm sorry for your loss, but upon seeing this thread, I kinda laughed.
1. Mr. Sticky Toes is a ridiculous name for just about anything except something being sold by mr. Shamwow guy. (JK)
2. Never mix animals who are instinctively predatorial (like cats) with potential prey. There should have been warning sings. (Your cat staring too much at the fishbowl or whatever you kept your gecko in).
3. Can't rely on anyone these days. Gotta do everything yourself (in other words: Never trust anyone with your stuff, living or inanimate, OR leave strict orders. My mom would have taken care of the reptile if I had told her)
4. BIRDS RULE! Get a bird! Maybe your gecko just reincarnated into a nice songbird.
5. Don't let your cats near the bird, if you chose to get one.
*has always thought that cats are the most disgusting thing ever*

1. I like the name. He has Sticky Toes, so I thought the name was cute.
2. The cage was 50 lbs and was locked. We are at a loss of how it knocked it off a shelf.
3. It wasn't my dad's fault.
4. Birds are loud, annoying, and stinky. (I've had one, and I liked her, but she was a pain..)
5. Cats will be Cats..
Cats are great animals, and I don't blame him for his instinct.
