I think male Tom cats do their business on the top of ground and dont bury it as they are marking their territory they do this here all over my front lawn..
I have to remove it before I can mow the lawn its disgusting.
Wouldn't mind if it was MY animal lol

Femal cats are just as guilty - don't know why anyone would want to keep cats, and that statement comes from someone with four of the things!

Thank you everyone for your input, this is my first time on this forum and what a friendly helpful bunch you are!
After reading your comments, it definately seems that a cat is the culprit. Sadly I have been seeing a new one around that likes to sit under a small confier right next to my bird feeding post
I have attempted to throw water at it, so maybe leaving a mess behind, it is the cat who is having the last laugh.

Try the trick that we do - when the neighbour's cat is seen in the garden we run at it clapping our hands and shouting loudly - "p--- off, go and c--- in your own garden, and leave my birds alone".

Not only does it make the cat exit sharply - but if the neighbours hear, they realise that we don't like their moggies.

In time it works. Less cat-c--- in our borders, and blackbirds that raised three chicks this year. But you have to keep at it

How letting the neighbours know does it stop the cats coming in your garden..

I was so fed with the neighbours cat pooing in the garden and my son was toddling round the garden, I threw it back over their garden and shooed the cat off when it came over it got the message.
The neighbours knew as the poo landed in a place the cat could not possibly poo..

Now I just let the dog out..

Nice to get that one in. Foxes are fussy about where they xexexexe. They can`t waste good communicating material on open paths. They have to put it on little mounds eg. anthills etc. in the open where the smell can dissipate over as wide an area as possible.
