I love how completely cool and casual the cat is about the entire situation. Like it's just up to date with the latest lizard-tongue-piercing trend, and it's a little thing called fashion, you wouldn't understand.

You joke, but as a kid in Texas, we would catch anoles like this little guy and hold them up to our ear lobe until they bit down so they’d become little earrings. They’d hang on for what seemed like ages, and we thought it was hilarious.

Same in Florida! We'd also sneak up on each other with the lizards for surprise jewelry lol

A lizard of that size probably doesn't have that strong of a bite

I would catch Italian wall lizards in highschool and when they bite down on your finger it's not much more pressure than a paperclip (not the black binder clips)

It's called fashion, look it up.
