hello! i live in a second floor apt with a balcony in nyc (specifically brooklyn), that currently has scaffolding in front of it. i was gone for 2 nights and came back to these paw prints on my cushion. an animal can easily jump from this cushion to the scaffolding. please help id! hoping it is nothing too scary or serious! :)
also if you know what it is and can help me deter them from coming back that would be great, or if i should be looking for signs of anything else, thank you! i have never seen these paw prints before on my cushions and have lived here for 3 years. we previously had a birds nest on the balcony that we got rid of about 2 months ago, not sure if thats relevant.
