An unexpected friendship.

It started with a snapshot in my WhatsApp. A three-foot monitor lizard, captioned my kitchen tenant. Then another pic, this time showcasing a cute yellow banded blunt scaly nose and a very bright knowing round eye. The cousin who lives in the air well drain.Every few days, a lizard with exactly that nose slides out of the kitchen storm drain and up our back yard tree, tongue flicking. The sight of him drives Tic Tac into a frenzy.

This resonates because I’m the same. Some months ago, we had the python that killed Swooner, and then a cobra in our living room, and then our neighbour, the one with the bird nest, found another cobra in his living room cupboard. “I have my broom but I don’t want to hurt the poor thing, do I?” she moans. “So, we put Jyn in the garden and told her to chase Quasimodo while we try and kick out the kitchen fellow.”“I told him to go,” Anita said. “I explained I can’t open the back door for long as God knows what else will stroll in.”

“Then I had a brilliant idea. I opened up a cardboard box, making a kind of tunnel. Then I poked the bed with a broom.”“He shot out into the box but he didn’t exactly fit. So I had to push another box into it.” Jyn may be upset but we’re enjoying the happy ending. While we draw the line at cobras in the living room, we’re fans of peaceful and respectful co-existing with nature.
