My cat has been in a one hour+ waco style standoff with a bug(??) she is CERTAIN she saw go inside this computer case (I have yet to see evidence of the alleged intruder) but she’s been circling it, pacing, pawing at it, waiting in anticipation to strike

I opened up the case for her and cleaned it with a can of compressed air but the standoff must continue

Major updates - Rogue struck at the case violently, then started playing with something.
Here’s the plot twist: It was not a bug. IT’S A LIZARD!!!! And she CUT OFF ITS FUCKIN TAIL

So now I’m thinkin about this big ol lizard I saw on my porch earlier. Could it be him? Is this massive guy in my computer case? How did I not see him when I cleaned?? But I realize the times don’t align. This guy was spotted AFTER the standoff began. So maybe there’s 2 lizards?

AND THEY HAVE THE SAME PATTERN

I review my pet camera, and I find the moment the lizard got in while I was receiving Chinese takeout. Like all good standoffs, it turns out this this all began with sesame chicken.
