Can't They Read?

Another Western Fence Lizard got into the house a couple of days ago.  We were lucky to catch this one before any of the cats got to it.  We tried to persuade it to run into a paper grocery bag; the lizard decided it would rather ride on the handle of the bag instead, and when we got to the screen door, he decided he would much rather run up the door than remain on the bag.

I opened the door, he ran up to the top and onto the outside; problem solved.

Outside, Please

However, that still left the problem of how these lizards were getting into the house in the first place.  We decided they probably can't read, since the welcome mat clearly indicates that there are multiple cats in the house, just waiting to welcome them.

The Welcome Mat Is Out

We're hoping that some weatherstripping at the bottom of the door will discourage future visits from the lizard population.
