Are lizards bad for cats

Answer 1

No. But if it eats the wrong kind of lizard, like a Gila monster, it will die. Do not encourage your cat to eat lizards because of this hazard and the choking hazard. But lizards themselves have no thinning properties inherent.

Answer 2

Lizards typically pose no direct threat to cats, but ingesting them can cause digestive issues or parasite transmission. Some lizards may bite in self-defense, which could hurt a cat. It's best to prevent cats from interacting with lizards to avoid any potential problems.

Answer 3

no

though cats are frequently sick for other reason (i.e. hairballs)

Sorry but I disagree. We have a home in Florida and our large dog ate part of

a gecko and vomited all night long. I called the vet in the morning and was

told that certain geckos make pets sick. I also called an exterminator to see if

there was something we could do to prevent them from coming into the lanai,

he suggested weather stripping under the doors. He also said that it was a

known fact that pets get really sick from geckos. Maybe not always but I

wouldn't want to go through a night like this again.

Answer 4

Cats are natural hunters, they are always looking for food because they are always hungry. The only way would be to keep your cat in the house.

Answer 5

Usually, yes. Cats will kill lizards as prey, but eating some parts of a lizard can make cats sick. If they chew on them but don't swallow, there is less chance of the cat throwing up.

Answer 6

yes, they do. my friend is an employee at petsmart and he feeds his lizard cat food all the time.

Answer 7

Cats are carnivors, so if a cat figures out a lizard is made up of meat, it will probably devour it.

Also Street cats probably eat mostly anything.

Answer 8

Actually cats are a type of morphed lizard so if they eat a lizard they will only become more morphed so in the end they will become a blob of gummy nom noms!

Answer 9

No

Answer 10

Mine do, even if well fed. If they consistently eat lizards, they will lose weight. I would really like to know why this is the case.
