ᐅ Cat droppings or wildlife scat? Warning: image of animal droppings!

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

So you’re saying with full confidence: OK, the purpose of the house search has been fulfilled, nothing relevant found, but we’ll keep searching anyway. No, that’s not what I said! I said that searching for additional items is covered by the issued warrant! And the police are just the extended arm of the public prosecutor and enforce the warrant. So if you think that’s wrong, then criticize the judge who may have issued the warrant quickly. But in any case, the search cannot be unlawful as long as the warrant is valid!
Point 2: Even though I am not 100% sure, I am fairly certain that modifying a firearm to fully automatic is not permitted and is therefore always illegal. But feel free to provide me with the legal basis for that.

A relative?!What are you trying to tell me?
Hello,
oh dear, what have I gotten myself into here...
I haven’t checked the camera footage from this morning yet, but there was no poop again. Bigfoot seems to dislike our outdoor lighting (shown in the avatar picture). It would be perfect if the problem could be solved that easily.
Following Steven’s advice, I ordered a wildlife camera yesterday, so let’s see what ends up in the photo trap.
It’s still unclear whether it’s the neighbor’s cat or the Yeti, and whether he/she/it will come back at all. So you might want to let your general murder plans mature a bit longer...
Of course, I’m happy to receive construction manuals for thermonuclear cat destruction bombs via private message...
By the way:
Guys, I didn’t want to start a fundamental debate about “cats or other animals versus the rest of the world,” that’s hopeless anyway. For 99.9% of all pet owners (whether dog, cat, horse, hamster, or goldfish), their pet is the dearest thing in the world, does nothing wrong, makes no noise, doesn’t poop, doesn’t stink, doesn’t eat or bite anyone, and anyway, everyone else is a bad person if they don’t love their darling just as much.
People often ask for tolerance toward animals, but at the same time, they don’t tolerate that others don’t like having piles on their lawn, don’t want to be licked randomly, or don’t want to be run over.
The fact that an animal is always a personal hobby, and that you shouldn’t bother other people with your hobby (whatever it is), is unfortunately often forgotten. The personal right to self-expression must have limits where it bothers, restricts, or even harms other people. After all, only a few would think of playing the trumpet in their garden at 2:00 a.m.
Come to think of it, even smokers have been more considerate...
And no, I’m not generally against animals—I married a horse owner! But we don’t let that horse poop in other people’s gardens.
Best regards,
Andreas

that such a conversion of the weapon to fully automatic is not granted permission and is therefore always illegal. But feel free to share the basis for this with me. Hello Fuchur
My (hopefully) final post on the Glock topic. (If you’re interested, since this is off-topic, we should continue privately.)
I also don’t think such a conversion would be approved. However, there was no conversion.
We will never agree on the rest.

However, feel free to provide me with the legal basis for that.It is probably already illegal to possess the mechanism itself. This also applies to night vision devices and those night vision attachments that can be mounted on a scope. They can be purchased on the market, but mere possession is already punishable, not just the installation or use.
@haydee The younger one comes exactly from those "wonderful" amateur breeders – I took him in from acquaintances when he was about 8 weeks old because things got too overwhelming for them and they couldn’t manage his care. -.- (weak, cat flu, high fever, etc.) He survived and stayed because he is very difficult.
Our other one is a "divorce casualty." Our breeder was called and told to either take him back within that week or he would be sent to a shelter... and that’s how he ended up here with us, back then still as number 3.

Owning this lever is legal. It is also quite easy to make using a 3D printer or with a plastic strip and a file.
