I love how completely cool and casual the cat is about the entire situation. Like it's just up to date with the latest lizard-tongue-piercing trend, and it's a little thing called fashion, you wouldn't understand.
44You joke, but as a kid in Texas, we would catch anoles like this little guy and hold them up to our ear lobe until they bit down so they’d become little earrings. They’d hang on for what seemed like ages, and we thought it was hilarious.
18Same in Florida! We'd also sneak up on each other with the lizards for surprise jewelry lol

A lizard of that size probably doesn't have that strong of a bite
I would catch Italian wall lizards in highschool and when they bite down on your finger it's not much more pressure than a paperclip (not the black binder clips)
11It's called fashion, look it up.

Is that... a corgi style cat breed? Feel bad for the poor thing. Short legs will severely hamper its ability to jump.
29They're called Munchkins. They should be illegal to breed.
22I think this one is a regular cat who is still crouched down from sniffing its stylish accessory. It just looks like it's a fully standing Munchkin because of the perspective, diffuse lighting and floof ruffles on the shoulderblades that are very slightly out of frame. The curve top right looks like it might be its left hip.
Also wishful thinking. I hope the lizard went on to lead a long and fulfilling life too, for what it's worth.
27Munchkins are fine. I've seen them jump and play in person. They're happy, healthy, active cats and most of this "make them illegal" crap is FUD.
If you want to go after real breeder-related cat cruelty, about half of Persians (depending on specific line) have nasal cavities too small to breathe through, going through life wheezing and apathetic as they can't breathe normally enough to do any physical activity.
There's also Maine Coone breeders (thankfully rare) who take the size of their cats to such insane excess that the spine literally isn't strong enough to support the cat anymore, and it bends to the point the cat can't jump.
EDIT: Oh! I can't believe I forgot the absolute worst offender, the Scottish Fold. Those cute flappy ears? That's caused by intentionally breeding cartilage deficiency genes that cause arthritis and joint pain as the gene effects more cartilage than just in the ears.

For what it's worth, this looks like the standard cat crouch position that my cats do all the time. It's one step away from the regular cat loaf.
This cat's legs are very likely normal length, they're just hidden in that white fur.

21Well it was the style at that time …
16"I caught a cat, do you want to pet it?"
15"hey there, lizard lips!"
14That is now the alpha lizard.
7Definitely the guy to score some catnip from
