Title: Poo on a plate
Post by: Mymblesdaughter on August 06, 2012, 15:53:16 PM
I posted a few weeks ago asking details about a stray cat at work. I've spoken to the rescue and agreed to feed him until they are a bit quieter and have time to come down and trap him.

Anyway I feed him three or four times a week. I leave a big plate full of biscuits under the porta cabin. I never see him but one of my collegues has seen him and the plate is always empty.  Today when I went to get the plate he'd left me a poo on the plate as a lovely thank you.  :sick:

Any idea why this might have happened? Do you think that it means there could be two cats or more? I thought it seemed strange to poo in a place were you normally have food.

I don't know, could be I suppose. I don't know what fox poo looks like but now that you mention it it didn't look like the poos my cats do.

Maybe i'm going to find it every morning when I fill up the cat food. I really hope the cats getting the food and I'm not feeding the local foxes. I don't mind the fox having some as long as he leaves some for the poor cat.

No idea on the poo front but think that the thread title qualifies for best title on Purrs ever  :evillaugh:

If it is a fox poo, and the chances are the fox may be eating the biscuits could you rig up some sort of cardboard box with a hole in that's big enough for a cat to squeeze in and get the biscuits but not a fox?

cats are normally far too clean to poop on a plate.  I bet its a fox. Even if you put a cardboard box down foxes always squeeze themselves into places where they can find food :-: Fox poo is normally darker than cats and often has lots of bits stuck in it. Yes I am a poo expert :naughty: :evillaugh: :evillaugh:
