Default Lawn brown patches

Bob Hobden has brought this to us :
Suddenly this week brown patches have appeared in our lawn.
We do not have a dog, sis-in-law's died a while ago so that doesn't come
to visit any more, and our female cat does not go outside these days
(she's 17+) since our male cat died. Not seen any foxes in the garden for
at least two years and we don't seem to get any hedgehogs these days.
There are no toadstools showing either. The grass was lush green until
the end of last week when the patches of dead grass showed themselves,
they do indeed look like something has piddled on those patches but what
can it be? Any ideas?


Hi Bob,Another tom moving in?

Possible but we haven't seen/smelt any sign of a male cat. The only other
cat we have seen is a neutered male and we haven' seen him use our garden as
a latrine and why should it just start as he has been around here for years.
