Funny cat/bearded dragon behavior

So, I've had this beardy for about 7 years, or so. About two years ago I got two cats, later [let's say, year and a half] I noticed a very interesting interaction between my cat Chewy, and my bearded dragon Rebok. My other cat Trouble is black and white, and Rebok completely seems unaware to Trouble's existence.

Now, Chewy on the other hand is different; deep brown to dark browns white, white coat. Not sure what type of cat either of them are. When Rebok sees Chewy through the tank, even from across the room sometimes, and he flares his beard black, and bobs his head violently, and then he'll start ramming into the glass at him...Sometimes Chewy stares at him while he freaks, or sometimes he will sleep right by the tank and torture Rebok.

If I let Rebok out of the tank and Chewy is near, he runs after Chewy [REALLY funny on hardwood floor], and Chewy is a really jump cat and usually ends up scrambling away like a baby.

I'm not sure if Rebok is trying to impress Chewy, or to attack him, or mate him....hard to tell. If anyone wants I can try to get a video capture of this, and link it. I'm curious what he actually is trying to do.

Thanks:]

Lol :/


Well, actually, he ignores my other [different colored] cat completely. I think maybe the color of Chewy is 'kinda' like a bearded dragon....kinda, lol.

But yeah, I think my lizard Rebok has mistaken Chewy for another lizard, maybe another male, or maybe a female. It's weird, hehe
