Ahh, now it makes sense! I still think they were idiots though lol. Sorry to hear about your iguana
Was it a young iguana? That's my guess cuz I doubt most cats would mess with a 4+ footer adult.
Short story for ya: i had adopted a beautiful 4 foot male iguana from Ray's, normally a very sweet boy though he had his days (which i learned quickly to watch for, after i stained both curtains and carpet with blood gushing from my thumb on one of those days!). Anyway, so I had him out often, and my siamese cat was insatiably curious about him, to the point that one day I decided i would not kick him out of the room, but let nature teach it's own lesson, so to speak. As my cat crept towards him (who was sitting on the back of a lazy boy chair) my iguana began to puff up. The closer my cat got, the higher he raised his tail, and the louder he hissed (inhaled). But, my cat of course didn't heed his warning, until *WHAP!* went his tail, sending my cat on a backflip off the lazy boy and he BOOKED it out of that room faster than I've ever seen him book it before! lol Ever since that day he refused to go anywhere near the iguana, and when he did have to walk by the tank, he krept along like a little chicken! Cruel of me? Possibly - but I think it was the best, and certainly most natural way for my cat to learn an important lesson - leave the iguana alone! lol
