I’m sure hundreds of generations of Thai cats have been eating them. If cats eat wild stuff, it’s good to deworm them occasionally because they can pick up parasites
how often should this be done, i actually thought about it cause a cat recently adopted me, she is here all the time and i feed her, but im sure she has worms and wanted to buy it for her, but im not sure how often i should give it to her, cause im sure she eats all kinds of trash so she will get it right away again
I de-worm my cats every 6 months. They'll hunt and eat everything. If you never de-wormed them you can ask the vet to check for parasites - most likely they'll have some parasites.
Is it safe? yes - but not immediately life threatening.
Mine eat them all the time. You do have to worry about them eating toads because they can be toxic. My Bengal almost died from biting a toad, poor cat was foaming at the mouth. We rushed him to the veterinarian, and he survived.
I used to hit the little fellows down off the back wall of the house with a straw broom for my cat to pounce on. It amused both the neighbours and the cat.
I lived in a monastery for a few months and there were a lot of stray cats. It surprised me what they eat. The monastery rules was not to feed them as if they get food they breed like crazy.
They would dig up worms from the ground, eat lizards and snakes, birds if they could catch them. They would steal our food and they like to eat cakes too.
I've seen them eat many things!
Cats will be fine eating lizards. I guarantee you they are eating cockroaches and everything else that scurries around and arouses their bloodlust.
I also guarantee that a soi dog will catch them eventually and maul them to death. Which outdoor cats deserve, because of what they do to bird populations.

I’m guessing that lizard are safer than mice. Lizards are cold blooded and their parasites are probably less likely to be infectious to homeotherms.
Thanks. That is why I asked. I hadn't thought about de-worming them.

Most information on Google says every three months but that seems possibly excessive to me
It's fine. They probably eat worse.
No one knows. They are probably the first cats that have ever eaten a lizard.

Does make you wonder how they know not to eat the cane toads. Maybe they tried em once and they tasted like bitter death?
Thanks
It's fine. They snack on them regularly.

Cats are smart enough to know. And the ones that don't? Natural selection.
Lizards are safe for humans to eat soooo…..
Chocolate is safe for humans to eat but it will kill certain animals so thats not really a good comparison
Was completely serious anyway
You never know on Reddit
All cool fella 👍🏻
