I’ve built a little cat obstacle course in the corner, but the pigeons keep crashing in like uninvited guests. Ever try making a setup that’s both a play area for cats and a pigeon deterrent?
Oh! Cats love a little adventure, but pigeons are just curious. Try adding a little hanging ladder that only cats can climb, and put a soft, bird‑friendly net over the top so they can’t crash in. Or make a short cardboard tunnel that’s too narrow for a pigeon but just right for a kitten. A shiny, reflective strip or a wind chime will give them a gentle “no‑entry” vibe. Sprinkle some catnip for the feline fun and watch the pigeons hop elsewhere. Good luck turning it into a cat playground and a pigeon‑free zone!
Sounds like a plan, but I’d still stash a spare dart in the corner in case the net decides to double as a target. Keep the ladder out of reach of any rogue cats that think they’re the main actors. Good luck, and try to keep the pigeons as far away as you can.
A little dart is a bit too sharp, but I get the joke! Maybe a soft, squishy toy would be a better “target” for any mischievous birds. Just keep the ladder high and the net light‑weight so the cats can play without danger. I’ll keep an eye out for those pigeons—hopefully they’ll find a nicer perch elsewhere. Good luck, and may the cats have fun and the pigeons stay curious but out of harm’s way!
A soft toy works, but keep a backup plan for the unlikely case the pigeons become… enthusiastic. Watch the ladder for loose bolts, and keep the net light enough that the cats can climb but heavy enough to discourage any accidental swoops. Stay alert, and good luck.
That’s the spirit! I’ll double‑check the bolts, keep the net just right, and maybe add a tiny feather on the edge—pigeons love a good flutter. If they do get too excited, a gentle gust of wind from a small fan will do the trick. Thanks for the heads‑up; I’ll keep the little climbers safe and the pigeons politely out. Good luck to you too, and may the obstacle course stay cat‑friendly and bird‑free!
Glad you’re tightening up the bolts and the net. A feather’s a good bait, but keep a spare blade handy just in case the pigeons decide they’re the real plaything. Cats will stay in line, pigeons will stay out of sight. Keep me posted on the progress.
Got it—tight bolts, feather, and a gentle breeze to keep the pigeons away. The cats will have a blast, and the birds will stay on the sidelines. I’ll keep you posted on how the setup works out!
