Don't worry, you guys are making the garage sound like a bad thing!!! I let those guys out EVERYDAY. Plus, when we first moved here, I was sure to make it kitty heaven. During the winter, they had a heater in there that worked quite well, they have a day light, white and a night light, blue, plus a little night light, a normal one. They've got fresh food and water and two litter boxes to share among four cats. Trust me, they're happy........ I just want them to be with me. And thank you for the tips on the guitars and stuff, I think I'll go buy a scratching post today. Thanks!

I'd write more about their garage, but I haven't got the time.
Not trying to be mean, so forgive me if it comes out that way... but.....
They are in the garage because there is too much stuff for them to get into?!!!! That's what CATS DO! Would you keep a baby in a garage just because there's too much stuff for it to get into? Didn't think so. You would , of course, make sure that all dangerous stuff is put where they can't get to it and out of reach.
As for the iguana.. I don't know. I have a bird with my three cats, and they are fairly bored with it. Of course when I let the bird out for excersize the bird comes into the bedroom, and the cats get the rest of the apartment for a couple hours.

I hope I didn't sound too mean, I just think that's not a good reason to have cats in a garage, no matter how much like kitty heaven it is... cats like our company, so it's not entirely kitty heaven, but I do commend you for at least bringing them in and spending time with them, and not having them be outside kitties.
And at least you care enough to make sure they have most of what they need... i just can't agree with the garage thing, sorry, not matter how much it is kitty heaven as you say, I just can't.
