Cats usually bury their poo. Young dog fox cubs are ejected from their
families round about late August. I suggest it might be them.

Doesn't fox poo have a very "foxy" but not unpleasant smell and a
pointed end? Cat poo smells foul.

I've been told (somewhere, probably on a Ray Mears wildlife prog or
the like) that all predators turds have a pointed end. Presumably to
prevent the anus slamming shut and thus giving their presence away to
their prey.

To me, all cr@p is foul.

Yes I do too.
A gentle slam. Is my preferance, but, of course, I am not always in
control!
