My cat ate a lizard! Is it dangerous? What symptoms should I look for?

Question

Hello. I just watched my 1 year old male cat Simba eat a little lizard he found in my house. I tried to stop him but I was unable to in time. He ate the whole lizard. I have since read about serious issues this could cause. Should I be worried? And what signs should I look out for? Thanks! Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 6 lbs

This honestly depends on the type of lizard. I'd monitor him for any concerning signs including vomiting, excessive salivation, anorexia, and lethargy. If you see any of them, have Simba seen by a vet.
