Iguanas? what do they eat? i thought they ate like... bugs and stuff.
Fruit mostly. At least all my green iguanas ate a special fruit/veggie mix (no bugs).
Damnit now I want another iguana I miss mine. They're cool lizards. Unless you piss them off and they use the tail on you.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

While I guess this can be true to an extent -- I wouldn't call it "just for fun". Cats are super slick, accurate hunters and to be that good one has to practice. A lot of it is also thousands of years (or more) of instinct. But we as humans could try a thousand times to sneak up on a bird and catch one by hand, and shit, we'd probably fail all one thousand times. Cats on the other hand can catch them at a amazingly high clip. I think there's a purpose to it more than just killing for fun. Them fools gots to stay sharp, yo.

Skills bro.
A large part of it is that pet cats can escape indoors from predators, are kept well fed and in good health. So they can kill at their leisure. I still love my cats though.

I had an iguana and ended up giving him away. Feels bad, man. I miss him sometimes. He hated people, though. He was just so scared of me. I mean all I would try to do is handle him to get him used to it but it just wasn't something he wanted to do. Ever. When he saw me approaching the aquarium he would freak.
He didn't deserve to be locked up in a cage and somebody's pet but at that point it's too late -- letting him free into the wild probably wouldn't work at that point (since he'd been living off a food dish his entire life) and plus he wouldn't make it through the winters anyway.
I gave him away to some dumb bitch who swore that she had tremendous iguana experience and that she'd give him a better life, blah-blah-blah, I believed it and gave him to her in hopes of a better life for him.
Then I talked to the cunt 3 months later and she had given away (allegedly). Now who knows where he's at. I hope he's doing alright.

I know it's weird...I'm pretty sure they're one of the few that actually eat foliage and shit.

You need a more affectionate, cuter cat that knows how to clean itself better and not shed everywhere. I have a black fur, green-eyed bombay cat and i love him to death. He always jumps up on my bed and just curls into a little ball with me. He's so damn sexy too with his big green eyes...there's nothing better than coming home from a hard day of work and opening the door to see him sitting there waiting for me.
Then he just follows me around even though he knows I dont give him treats and knows exactly where his food is if he wants it. He's just a walking love machine i swear, he just wants to cuddle and knead me everywhere i go. He doesnt shed at all or smell bad ever either. Love him so much . Plus when you're tripping you like connect with them, they get allll over you too its fucking adorable man. Its pretty damn cool how high they can jump too...and when they get mad its pretty funny, he'll just hiss and swat at me even though he doesnt have claws lololol.
