My cat apparently has a taste for these things, but yesterday instead of mauling her prey she chased it into the house via an open patio door. So now I am staring at a 15" green anole on the wall of the dining room. He's up near the ceiling, behind the china closet, making himself inaccessible. Any suggestions? I'd like to see the poor guy survive this ordeal and get back outside to do whatever it is green anoles do.

We have them here too.
You know they don't grow 15" long right? 8-9" max.

It's not going to bite you, it has no teeth. It'll squirm around though.
How about placing a waste basket over him against the wall and then sliding a piece of cardboard or something against the wall to trap him in the waste basket?

how big is your cat btw?
Average. Three year old girl, around 9 lbs, could stand to lay off the lasagne and lose a pound. Here she is in action against another lizard of some kind last summer.
Did some quick research. As best as I can tell, this guy appears to be a Knight Anole. The markings and size of my new pet seem to fit the description.

Just Grab it around the middle. Even if it wanted to, there's virtually nothing it could do about it. Unfortunately, this might involve some chasing around the house. Once you get it outside, just put it in a tree and it'll be fine (assuming your cat doesn't come back for more 🙂 ).

Yes we call them Cuban Anoles. 🙂
Domesticated ones are a fair handful. I can only imagine a wild one. :Q
They can bite like iguanas and whip you with their tails. No real trama but be prepared if you handle it - wear gloves! A lizard bite that breaks the skin in no joke! I saw a guy that got bit by an iguana in St Thomas - very small break in the skin. No big deal right? Wrong! The next day his entire arm was swollen up and he had to be hospitalized. Don't play with the lizard!
