We are so far off topic it's not even funny, but I am enjoying reading, so here is my two cents worth:

Re: Cats who get skinny/thin after eating lizards -
The lizards when consumed act as an 'anti-nutrient' for the cat and interferes with the cats Biotin.

I hope it is okay to post a quote from this link written by a Vet:
http://askthevettech.com/welco...

"Lizards are not good for cats-period. They have a substance in them called Avidin that can cause the Biotin in their food to become bound up (non-absorbable), making it unavaiable and we have seen cats nearly starve to death by eating them. They act like a cat with leukemia but their color is good, so we know they don’t have FELV. Cats with FELV are very anemic and have no color in their mucous membranes."
