Madonna the Queen of the World
Ignatia the Sweet Hostess
Iggs heads for a morning drink
Madonna makes sure Iggs is only getting a drink
Jiggs the cat stops in for a snack
Madonna, Iggs and Jiggs all enjoy dark leafy greens
No one was hurt during this visit, unless you count Iggy's pride when Madonna jumped down from on high and climbed on top of her. Both Iguanas are used to cats drinking their water and eating their food (thankfully). The mitigating factor here was that it is winter and the girls are in a kind of slow motion semi-hibernation where they don't eat much and sleep a lot on their heating pads (and get covered up at night and generally spoiled a bit). Madonna left fully refreshed and ready to nap some more when her family picked her up.
Oh, the life of a celebrity...

You cover up the iguanas? Like in a blanket? This is something I've got to see...
"Madonna jumped down from on high and climbed on top of her." Just what I would have expected!
Is that a wildlife sanctuary you're running there? You may be interested in my current post then.
Eegads....reptiles really give me the creeps. I don't even like the gecko in the GEICO commercials!
Can I come and stay in your retirement home for pampered pets, please?
EOH- At night I turn down the heating pad to low and cover her with a towel. I just think it makes her feel more secure.
g -Madonna can be such a bitch!
jojo -I don't tell people that she doesn't live in a cage...
val -sure, but ya gotta be a real animal to qualify.
mammals don't count??
that's too funny! when i 1st started to read this post i thought "did i miss somewhere that claire is a big madonna fna or something? why in the world is she posting about madonna!?"
she doesn't live in a cage? does she roam around? or does she just kind of stay in her own little area?
Aren't they cold blooded? Or is it a celebrity thing? Ha-ha!!
I just love things with scales!
Axe's comment reminded me of a pic I saw.
Lady liberty loves things with scales, too...
I forgot you've got all these creepy animals around. You're kind of weird, you know?
In my earlier and sometimes funner days, I remember waking up in some girls house, and feeling something heavy on me.
her pet, giant repilian beast thought that I made quite a nice heat pad.
Talk about beer goggles!
kris -she can roam, but doesn't because she prefers to stay in her warm area. She spends summers on my sunny upstairs porch.
axe -ha! she is coldblooded but lovable ih her own reptilian way
rasputin -that is a funny picture but it somehow didn't remind me of iguanas
diesel aka nerdboy -you make me laugh out loud
wreckless -though not a story for the kidlets, that is hilarious!!
It's like a celebritiy spa!
OMG that is SO COOL!!! And the cats just hang out with them? Wow! I LOVE the one where they're all enjoying the leafy greens together. >^_^<
Hey, I'm in kind of a slow motion semi-hibernation myself.
These animals are my people.
Hey Thanks for the book suggestion. I will be checking it out!
The first thing I thought when I saw this post...'Ladies Having Lunch' It's all about the attitude.
Bravo to kitty...I don't think my 4 would be so brave.
Hi Claire,
Thanks for stopping by. :) You may have already read the story, but during last weeks cold snap in South Florida, iguanas were falling out of trees. When the sun warmed them up, they all climbed back into the trees.

jay -iguanas make good celebrities
candace -aren't they cute? Iggs is cool as long as the cats don't mess with her. The cats know her sharp tail can hurt.
jocelyn -mine too
tess -at first they would be freaked out but you know cats love to figure stuff out (and love chewing on leafy greens). Before you know it, they'd all be fast friends!
rose -I did not know about that story. Poor creatures. Some may have lost their tails in the fall. Luckily they can grow a new one. I wonder what they eat running around wild in Florida, because I don't think they are native there.
