Something has messed in my house. UPDATE!!!

? What a nice surprise! So are you going to investigate?

Have you had a search or are you in the car again?

Nosey question: How much did the pest man charge you?

Just an idea but could you ask around the neighbours to see i anyone has lost their pet first, that way if anyones pet is missing they may be able to come round and try calling it by name?

Otherwise, maybe leave some chicken or tuna out and lie in wait?! ?

Hope you find whatever it is. It is probably very scared.

Although I would imagine an animal would poo in a corner rather than the middle of the carpet/floor (but then I have no idea?).

£82

Asked the next door neighbour who's cats are always in our garden but it's not one of theirs.

Cat people - should i call off the search, put food down and see if it comes out on it's own?

Behind the fridge, behind a wardrobe or under the bed - that's where I'd look first. Anywhere dark and quiet.

Flip me, £82 to tell you what millions of Hitchers had already told you! ?

I hope you find it soon! (I would go with the "put food out, lie in wait with cardboard box, stick and piece of string a la Tom and Jerry" approach )

Put food down see what appears!

Could it not have run in, done the deed and then run back out within the five minutes?

£82?! I'd want him to clean it away and find the animal for that!

just what i was about to say!

Could have done but i opened the door, took the first load in and then my Husband came to help and stood at the door the whole time.

I am now imagining a cat/badger on their hind leg tippy-toes and wearing a burglar's mask, furtively sneaking into Spring's house, looking round, squatting and tippy-toeing straight back out again. I need to get out more (as does the cat/badger ?)

Wow!! £82 - not bad for a few minutes work.

I'm in the wrong job (except i'd never have been able to identify it ?).

When something comes into your house and craps on your living room floor you want to know for sure what it is ? not that he was any bloody help. I didn't know what else to do!

Holy crap! (literally)

?

Neither did the pest man though. Fox, badger, cat or dog isn't really narrowing it down much ?

Wahhhhhhhhh that's true ?

Yes, I'm imagining him with his tick list. "Hmmm, not horse, rhinoceros, dinosaur, lizard or beetle....."

I'd suggest putting out food and water - esp as if there is an animal trapped inside the house it might be becoming dehydrated by now.

If you've got a hard surface you could sprinkle a bit of flour down on the floor and put the food bowls on top of that - then you'll see footprints if there is something in the house (worked when my friend had a rat in).

Alternatively you may just end up with a floury pooey floor. ?

Did her get his ruler out?

''It's under 10cm so it's not a camel''

Crosses camel off list ?

I'm going with cat, it's the only creature that is a) likely and b) able to get into your house without you noticing. And it probably is still there. Cats are inherently clean creatures so it wouldn't poo in it's safe place, hence why in the middle of the carpet. I'd just leave a window/door open if you can and it'll find it's own way out. I wouldn't be scared of it at all, but you'd be better letting it make it's own way than confronting a potentially scared creature that is backed into a corner.

Have you cleaned the poo up now?! I have to say I'd have just cleaned it up and then posted about it - no way would I have paid £82 to be told what animal it might be.

? I sure haven't brough Millie down South to poo in your living room. Anyway she is currently throwing up everywhere so a different type of yuck!

So the door was only open for 5 mins when you got your food shopping delivered?

My money's on the delivery man.

I've had one end so i may as well have the other ?

I have cleaned the area and have bought some food. I'll leave it in a room with an open window and hope for the best

? That's Tesco for you!

Could it be a House Elf???

There's us blaming defenceless cats when it could quite easily be one of the said creatures!

Maybe you should ring Tesco and see if one of their drivers has been reprted missing. He's probably hiding under the bed ?

? Go around the house calling 'here kitty kitty kitty' . I can't imagine it still being there tbh. My cats would have started to cry if they were scared or stuck somewhere and couldn't get out. Look under the beds and behind everything possibly just to check though.

I'm sending Millie on her way down.

?

Poor you Spring but this has really made me laugh!!!!

Hope you find the mystery pooper soon!!!!!

I would say cat

Years ago a cat got into my dads house and hid behind the bath for a week - the bathroom was being refitted

He was hiding behind the insulation. We kept smelling cat wee but put it down to the drains as all the plumbing was being changed

It was found a week later very weak he had been going out at nights to wee and he got really weak and was out when my dad went to bed and he couldnt hide quick enough

The cat was fine and is still alive
