Tar looking poo in my garden

cherry76

I am puzzled, could this be cat's poo, black tar looking poo on my lawn and one the pavement, looks like constipated poo. Friend told me cat do get constipated, it does look like dry dead slugs (very black) What could this be? Any idea, anybody!! The cat poo used to be a big blob on lawn but this dry tar looking poo is everywhere pavement, patio and lawn. The cat has not been recently but only last week I have noticed this black poo. Thanks

Sounds like Fox poo to me!! Usually accompanied with a foul smell like really rotten smell? x

Lol at first glance I thought your title said 'taking a poo in my garden' thought you were going to ask if it would be beneficial to the plants or something

we get something similar all over our playground- fox poo apparently (according to the fount of all knowledge, the caretaker)

Thanks, look like hedgehogs, no fox can get in the garden. I guess cannot do anything but clean it.

No, fox poo is bigger

Cherry, just think of all the slugs and snails that little hedgehog is eating.

Oooh I've had some of those treasures left in my garden too, nice to know the little hedgehogs have been visiting and not a nasty ol' fox (poor fox that is very judgemental of me!!).
