Cats And Lizards Form Unlikely Bonds And Friendships And These Photos Prove It

Cats aren't usually known for forming unlikely friendship, unless you consider that some cats like dogs is unlikely? There are some friendship dynamics that seem strange, yet still work anyway.

Cats and lizards are definitely an unlikely friendship combination. Lizards and cats almost seem to be polar opposites, and seem like they would be natural enemies?

I'd certainly expect a cat to more likely hunt a lizard than become besties with it. Perhaps cats like to scratch themselves on the lizard’s spines, while the lizards like to cuddle up to the cat for some warmth... I mean, I’ll scratch your back if you warm me up, right?

Either way, check out these adorable pictures of cats and lizards interacting—some in more friendly ways than others!

Nap time

My cat pretty much adopted my rescue lizard as her weird scaly kitten and the two are inseparable. They have naps together, spy on the neighbors through the window together and just generally hang out together every chance they get. (All interactions are 100% supervised) from r/AnimalsBeingBros

Lizard doesn't seem happy to be sharing its lunch!

How do I get her to eat her veggies? This is just a funny pic, we had her out and put snacks out. The cat loves kale! In her cage, most of the veggies go bad, she never eats them! I get excited when I see her go for one bite of them. Any advice would be great! from r/BeardedDragons
