i've mentioned before how the pigeons outside my window drive my cat crazy. well i think i've found a fun way to keep them off my window ledges:

i was telling my grandma about this problem a while back and she mentioned that it would be great if i had a wooden owl or snake to scare them away. and i said that would be cool, but i didn't.

but wait! i do have toy animals. so i've been sitting them out there and no pigeons. of course, the pigeons are still up on the roof above and my cat sees and hears them there, but at least they're no longer right on the ledge itself. and they know we mean business!
