Siamese cat Méia:Two Geckos and Human Nature

As all loved and pampered cats I own a lot of toys - not so sophisticated ones as some I've seen in stores on the web - but my humans, being handy (they've it from me, no doubt !) are always making me something new.
	But here between us , from whisker to whisker, where no one will hear it - though well intented, humans usually lack our sharpness of intellect and though we are grateful enougth to play a little with their gifts, we are also soon bored... we long for something new, surprising, startling and challeging !
My rubber gecko, a very realistic one, sometimes had such a startling effect (remember ?) perhaps because it was bought in a shop for items humans use to frighten each other (like fake spiders, small snakes, cockroaches, etc...). Now, don't ask me how some grown up, big humans can be afraid - even go into hysterics - when shown so small creatures, because I'll never understand that!
One day I had unusual luck - I met my second gecko ! A real one - who was foolish enougth to enter our house. Mother Nature allows only the brigthest and fastest geckos to survive - for the others, she created us ! I was delighted with such a gift, and as my humans were absent ( I told you, it was my lucky day !) I played with it till it moved no more !
	Still in a grateful mood, I thought of a little surprise for my humans and put it in our bed. I had done so before with the rubber one and always achieved a hearty laugter - how much more delighted they would be when they found a real one !
I hardly could await bedtime!		Can you guess what happened ? I'm sure you can't ! They reacted as if a live tyrannosaur had been put there !
	Who can understand human nature ? If they don't like real dead geckos why do they make rubber ones ???
