I was just browsing my security cameras and saw at least 4 cats having a meeting on and around my outdoor aircon.

Heavy rain tonight and maybe it is the only dry place for a meeting.

Never seen that before.

I've just got an ultrasonic cat repeller from a Chinese web front - hopefully it works but too soon to tell whether the volume of faeces on my lawn has reduced.

Cats usually bury their poo and most dogs leave it in a prominent pile.

Can you please tell the cats who shit on my lawn and amidst my wife's flowers and plants that they're doing it wrong.

Sometimes I use big words I don't always fully understand in an effort to make myself sound more photosynthesis.

I have a fully fenced section and I have never seen a dog in my garden, while I have seen many cats. There are steaming mounds of shit all over the grass and in the garden beds. So I think that's bullshit.

Cats just please themselves, dogs usually have an owner in attendance so blame the human for anything left.

How do bulls get in your garden?

Was the air-con unit running at the time? It could be the vibration that draws them to it. My cat goes nuts when I break out the massage gun, she wrestles with it and tries to cuddle it. For some reason they love vibrations.

The aircon was running. If I see the cats gathering again I might turn off the aircon for half an hour to see what happens.

Nope, it's catshit. But you appear to have deficient cats in your neighbourhood. We've never had cats or neighbour cats leave visible poo... have had a family cat for over 50 years.

In winter heating mode the outdoor unit is blowing cold air - surprise the cats like it.

Perhaps it is untrained? The main culprit appears to be one of those "Bengal" cats (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengal_cat) so I'm not sure if that has something to do with it.

In my experience I get both forms! The fat overfed lazy cats just drop and go, while the fit ones are more concerning and take their time!!! Bloody annoying things.

Well that answers that. Pretty sure those Bengal cats self identify as dogs! 🤣

Well - that's some sort of sh*t - a cat just doesn't live that long. 😀

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.
