so i didn't get much sleep last night..my bf works night shift so he was sleeping like a log and i finally got back to sleep this afternoon for a nap...i wake up at 4pm with a strange feeling...my bf is starting to wake as well..
i get up, open the door to kuan yin (the kitten)'s room to let her out and i go directly to the kitchen to get her lunch out of the fridge...now usually kuan yin jumps on the reptiles tanks to gain access to the counter and then she jumps down and runs to follow me to her room for her meal.
well, i open the fridge and sense someone is in fact on the counter staring at me but it doesn't feel very "kitten-like". i slowly turn around and....
THERE IS SPIKE, THE IGUANA, SITTING ON THE COUNTER LOOKING UP AT ME IN A CASUAL WAY!!!!!!!
i have a fleeting moment of terror as i realize kuan yin is about to jump to exactly where he is sitting and there might be a run in between the two..(he is about her size and bites if feels threatened). i quickly throw kuan yin's meal on the floor, stopping her from jumping on the counter, and run to the bathroom where my bf is now and yelll for him. kuan yin is at my feet being my shadow and i quickly lock her in her room.
my bf gets the gloves and picks up spike, who is very grumpy to be taken off his new sitting place and does in fact try to bite a few times (to be expected, just didn't want that to be a kitten). we put him back and realize he has ripped of the astroturf on the back of his tank to make a ramp leading to a small hole where an electrical cord sticks out of and to his getaway.
it's AMAZING that as we were sleeping he had no run ins with the dog as one of our dogs likes to chase anything that will run from her.
so yeah, time for a new tank..in the meantime, we have some books stacked on the hole
that woke me up better than a cup of coffee!!!
