Lizard wants to mate with his cat buddy. She doesn't understand.

The title sounds implausible. However, when you watch this short video you see the lizard head-bobbing towards his cat companion. The lizard's name is Rick and the cat's name is Kitten". I don't know if Kitten is female but I think that she is. They were both adopted from a rescue centre and they have been together for eight years according to their human caretakers. They live in Howell, Michigan, USA. And the video was made on January 28, 2021.

Lizard proposes to cat buddy and wants sex. She does not understand.

You see Rick insistently head-bobbing in close proximity to Kitten. My research indicates that that means that a male lizard wants to mate with a female lizard. It can also be a sign of dominance and aggression but this is inapplicable in this instance because they are buddies (my interpretation).

So, we are left with the conclusion that Rick wants to have sex with his cat companion who does not understand lizard language and therefore cannot respond in the appropriate way which is to bob their head in response. She looks blankly at him which makes me wonder how Rick responded. How does he take a rejection like that? Will he be upset and become aggressive? We don't know because the video stops short of what happens next.

I think that it is a fascinating video of an interspecies relationship because the Rick is trying to communicate in his language to a different species which begs the question whether he understands that his friend is a different species. 

I believe that when animals are raised like this together for so many years, they regard the other as the same species. This makes sense in this instance because he believes that he can mate with a cat. He is seeing a lizard and he fancies her and he wants to make a family! And why not? It's just that it is not biologically possible for starters and of course she couldn't possibly entertain the idea. She'd be flattered though.
