There is a 2nd animal

[molarbear]

I was sitting outside with the cat that has claimed the porch when I heard the gate rattle on the side of the house

I got up, and there, like an obese gargoyle hunting for a boost of insulin from a mouse that happened to stumble into an old persons diabetic medication... Huge orange cat

Who was behind me during this confrontation where I bravely walked into the darkness towards to gate to defend the nature buffet I so tediously stride to perfect every year?

Not a soul, I saw two yellow eyes peaking from around the porch corner, though. A good 30 feet away, just kinda like "oh hey, if you die I will eat you."

i saw two lizards fighting. one (slightly larger and lighter in color)had the other in a jaw locked head grip. they toppled down the rail like those sticky things on windows, the one let go, but the other that was trapped in the death grip went back. 

so...of COURSE i got up to do commentary and ref. this title match. they got up the rail (vertical) and the darker green one (younger i think) had the lighter one in the jaw grip, but he couldn't hold in, topple down they came, but the older one did a suplex. i kid you not, a suplex and got a better, more deadly grip. finally they landed on the plank (i yell out LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THEY HAVE FINALLY MADE IT TO THE MAT!!!

it was the best 20 minutes i have had in a long time. 

it ended in a draw, and i stepped in, scaring each to a seperate corner of the secret garden.
