Why don't cat's attack pigeons?
Our cat leaves pigeons alone, but has been known to go after pretty much all other birds, (not that she ever gets them!)
Why doesn't she ever bother with pigeons? Even though they come right up to her when she's napping!

Be glad cause most pigeons carry disease ...so maybe your cat is smarter than you think lol...maybe they are too big for her or she had a bad experience with one

It's just a quirk. Size doesn't really matter. I had a cat that went after a pheasant and it was WAY too big for him. He flattened on the ground when the pheasant took off and flew toward him, and the pheasant passed over his head. He caught a lot of other birds, though. There are things like this (your cat's tolerance of pigeons) you'll never know the answer to. It's their way of keeping us on our toes.

I think the pigeons are just too big for them to bother with. I have had some monsters in my back yard- I named one Gilbert Glutton :)

Every cat is different and maybe she doesn't think of them as prey. We have chickens and the cats leave them and the babies alone but all the other birds are really nervous.
