I have 4 cats right now and a damn doggie door and just rescued a pidgeon flying in my house . I shoulda let the cats eat the pidgeon then eat the cats........lol
I sympathize! I had a terrified sparrow in the house who got in by the cat door. It flew around in a panic, dropping poop bombs all over and narrowly escaping death-by-ceiling-fan. I tried fanning it with a broom in the direction of the open door, but no dice. Finally it landed in the foliage of an indoor plant and cowered there, allowing me to pick up the entire potted plant and put it outdoors. All this transpired too high up for the cat to reach.
