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

@andimann please don’t take @kaho674 too seriously on this topic; she knows that cats are not children and vice versa. Unfortunately, she didn’t have a choice in the matter and now simply has cats.
I’m still hoping for caught-in-the-act footage of the culprit; by now, the wildlife camera should have already arrived.

*duck and run* The deer is having a hard time now. My husband has finished the fence! Yippee, my husband is a hero!
Hello everyone,
It is indeed a cat, but not the neighbor’s. I’m still trying to find out who it belongs to; I see this animal here about once a week.
We have already started control measures. So far, they are working. The cat only came by once more. Let’s see how long the peace lasts.
However, we still have some escalation steps planned…
P.S.: If anyone would like a Persian cat, they are welcome to pick it up here…
Regards,
Andreas
