OMG Lizard in my house!

Well, I walk downstairs to the family room, and what do I see? I ____ing LIZARD!

So I'm trying to keep my cat away from it, but Butterscotch (my cat), was determined to kill it.

As you can see, the lizard was scared out of its mind, and my cat actually bit it to where it started to bleed.

Anyone know what kind of lizard this is?

On to the pics!

Holy cow Alex, that is a huge cat and a huge lizard. That lizard looks like it belongs in the Desert, not TX. Let us know what it is if you find out.

BEWARE OF GUARD CAT!

I am glad I live in Iowa where I don't have to worry about those "snakes with legs"

Yeah lol, the cat is huge. He's not fat, but just a large cat.

in reality, that Lizard is about 9-11" in length.

Just did some research, and it's a Texas Spiny Lizard.

Butterscotch doesn't look so determined to kill it in that first pic.. Looks like s/he(?)'s about to fall asleep.

I'd freak out if i saw something like that in my house.

We have hundreds of them around my house, but they're just plain brown.

Yeah definitely a spiney lizard. Usually aroud desert/arid conditions. Eats crickets and other insects I believe. Not the kind that bleeds from its eyes to frighten things away though. Those are fatter looking. Prolly wouldn't hurt you if it bit you anyways. Maybe a little pinprick but that's about it.
