D/S conundrum

[jimlews]

AI help says DNA test costs between £250 - £395, so that is not going to happen.
I'm just covering it with wood ash from my stove at the moment.
So my path to the woodshed will likely become more and more prominent.
Probably end up walking along an ash dyke.

If it turns out to be a cat, well, I'll invite it in for tea I like cats.

Also, I don't want to accuse anyone and I don't want anyone to be punished.

But now, it's way past my bed time...
Sweet dreams all.

Any chance its a cat. ?

Possible, I suppose.
Though those cute little assassins usually bury the evidence.

No, they don't. Not anymore. I suspect this is partly due to urbanisation and partly due to being taken away from their mothers too soon. I've had to deploy cat scarers in my front garden. Perhaps they are available for dogs as well.

A human-scarer might be needed. Or much higher fencing. Perhaps a tennis racquet?

"Hell is other people", eh?

Well, if no photo, then a detailed description, with dimensions.

Dog muck is pretty distinctive in form (“logs”) and the size is a very clear indicator of the size of the beast.

Cats, BTW, don’t anything like always bury theirs.

Electric fence works too. Know anyone who keeps horses.

There were regular piles left on a concrete slab in our garden. I presumed the culprit must be next door's dog, not our cat, since cats bury. I complained to the neighbours. We get on well with them luckily, so when they showed me our cat was guilty there was no ill feeling.
Perhaps a movement sensitive camera would establish the culprit?
I see Argos do one for twenty two pounds.

Huh! You think that you have problems? At the far, quiet, untended, end of our French garden we get foxes, wild deer, hedgehogs, badgers, and sanglien (wild pigs), all of whom leave a calling card just to let us know that we have been visited.

Luckily the snake that lives in our woodshed only leaves a dead skin that it has cast.

I am now tending towards a feline culprit.
I have seen cats trying to bury a bad smell on concrete. I saw one scratching away for a while, then giving up.
That was not in my 'garden' BTW.
So perhaps that is what is happening here. Trying to bury, but failing. And I did once find a cat in my woodshed.
So I'm now having 'moaners remorse' about contacting E/S. Hopefully they will call here first, whereupon
I shall apologise profusely for wasting their time and call the whole thing off.
Thanks for all your helpful suggestions.
