I'm just going to say that getting any large herp with the intention of letting it "free roam" is not the brightest idea. Yes, people do it for years without issue. People also feed out live rats and use hot rocks with no issue. The fact that you have a cat roaming around already ratchets up the number of variables considerably, and then you ask about two different species of lizard "getting along" in that situation? Amazingly, nobody addressed the possibility of your tegu getting hurt, or your cat losing an eye when it gets tail whipped.
People get into big lizards with all sorts of half baked ideas, but this is one of the worst. If you don't want to keep your lizard in a cage (which is entirely understandable), give it a room of its own. Successful herp keeping is about giving the animal the tools it needs to thrive, in a way that is useful to it. If you want a house pet with scales, get your cat an alligator coat. :-p
