Hello everyone,
(Hope I don’t get banned right away for posting a bunch of crap…)
Some animal is leaving a pile of droppings on our lawn almost every night, strangely always in almost the same spot (plus or minus 2 m (6.5 ft)). At first, I suspected the neighbor’s cat, but the pile seems too large for a cat, right? Also, don’t cats usually go into garden beds rather than right in the middle of the lawn?
Question: Can anyone tell me if this could still be cat droppings? If so, I guess a conversation with the neighbors is due.
I’m getting tired of cleaning it up every morning, and even more worried that my kids might step in it while playing or that my son might try to taste it. My nephew once caught worms that way, which was quite unpleasant. That really shouldn’t happen.
And if it’s something else: what could it be and, above all, how do I get rid of it?
Barbed wire, spring-loaded traps, anti-aircraft guns, nuclear bomb?
Best regards,
Andreas

Is that infrared? IR doesn’t reproduce colors in black and white the way we usually see it.If he has a trail camera, it probably uses what’s called a black LED flash. These are actually LEDs that emit light in the infrared range, and the camera produces quite sharp black and white images from that. In good lighting conditions, the camera switches to color mode without the "flash." Usually, you can also set it to record videos of any length instead of taking photos. Or take a photo, then a video. And so on. They are really great gadgets.

Unbelievable... 28 pages about a piece of poop. Don’t get distracted, we are back on topic now.
You really don’t want to catch the animal now?
And again, what is the owner supposed to do then? He can’t exactly tell the cat not to come to you anymore!
I find it quite strange that it sits right in the middle like that; they usually don’t like to do that... Can’t you somehow make the spot less appealing for her?
