Cat and blue tail lizard

Question
Can a blue tail lizard make a cat sick if it kills it and not eat it, but you don't see the tail of the lizard. He is not acting the same after he killed it.  

Answer
John, assuming you're located in the US, you have nothing to worry about.  I doubt you'd have anything to worry about no matter where you are located, as there are only a couple of venomous lizards and I doubt any cats would mess w/ them.  Your cat is either tired or upset that his "toy" broke.  Trust me, mine brings in about 15 a week...  Once he brought in a 2 1/2 foot ribbon snake right through the cat door!
