Cats have been blamed for human faeces and dog poo because the person who complaint do not bother to find out the difference and the town council's property officer is not bothered to find out what kind of poo either. It is "so much easier" to respond with "no problem, we will send the pest controller down to round up the cats!"
When the complainant call again to say the "poo" has recurred, the response will be "no problem, we will send down the pest controller again!" There is no one to audit such property officer on his or her inefficiency for applying the wrong solution and cats cannot protest either!
