I wouldn't have thought my little cat was any kind of hunter. June 18, - Trust me, even if your pigeons were the biggest, baddest birds around, they would be terrified by a house cat and the house cat would almost definitely find the hunter within as soon as it was given the chance. The modern use of the word pigeon refers to the very large rock pigeon most of the time and they are tough birds who might be able to take on a small cat. Putting a cat amongst the pigeons them would have really left the little doves to be picked off one by one. I think that back in the day when the phrase was coined, the word pigeon applied to doves as well as pigeons and they probably weren't as big as they are now either. She was fairly scared of them too and I don't think they were all that much bigger than a pigeon. ![]() June 19, - I don't know about pigeons, but I do know that our cat was bullied by ducks when we spent a few years living on a small farm. ![]() |
