A pair of pigeons has made its home in the tree in our yard, and when one of them woke me at 6:52 am on a Saturday by screaming (technical term) right in front of my balcony door, I decided to do a little 5 minute craft project. Let's see if the pigeons like it.
on a green crafting mat, a sitting, attentive black cat with bright yellow eyes, made from black paper cut to shape and two circles of yellow paper, with pupils drawn in and some highlights and whiskers quickly drawn in white pencil. the tools used for creating it are also visible along the edges of the image frame - cutter, scissors, tape, pens. it's pretty cute!
what it looks like from the outside of my balcony door, taped to the lower edge from the inside, with a bit of my kitchen in the background, hopefully blurry enough to not catch shit for how i need to tidy up a little
a shot of the silhouette from behind, looking out over the yard, which itself is mostly represented by the yellow house on the other side, but a bit of the tree is visible to the left

the birds outside my windows don't even mind the real cat sitting on the windowsill and making silly noises

as a little update on this, 2 weeks later, it seems to have worked a treat. the pigeons have, probably out of an abundance of caution and alternatives, decided to find a different balcony for early-morning vocalization, and I have not been disturbed in my sleep since.
