Apparently there is a huge problem with dogs poo in the village - Could it be foxes or cats poo?

I don't think so, fox poo is very distinctive - it's black and tar-like, and dogs go crazy and start rolling around in it (or at least ours does).

Cats tend to do their business on soil and cover it over - very civilised!

Just by the way, cats, especially toms, do indeed poo 'out in the open' so to speak. They can be quite a nuisance actually. I've never known of one to do its business on a pavement but re. the front lawn problem, cats could easily be the culprits. One clue that it's a cat is small piles of scratched up/browning grass surrounding the offending area.

I heard many years ago that female cats urine kills grass and turns it brown. Do you think it is true?
I don't like cats in my garden as they try to kill the birds and occasionally succeed.

Yes I believe both cat and dog urine kills grass. It seems we're doomed either way. Very Happy

I know that dogs (especially bitches can make the grass brown with urine).
I have to disagree that cats cover their poo - a cat visited our garden on many occasion and didn't have the manners to cover it up. Not good when our dogs find it.....

presumably they recycle it? That clears up your problem then?
