Hey, they cut "Poop Hill" in our compound!

There is a raised patch of grass in the centre of our compound. This tall grass is the result of hundreds of cat droppings from the resident cat population that exceeds 20 at least. The cats have made it their business to do their business in the only area where the kids could potentially play....but they don't! 

The trouble is, cat droppings cause Toxoplasmosis, a parasitic disease caused by the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii. The parasite infects most genera of warm-blooded animals, including humans. During the first few weeks after exposure, the infection typically causes a mild, flu-like illness or no illness. However, those withweakened immune systems, such as those with AIDS and pregnant women, may become seriously ill, and it can occasionally be fatal. The parasite can cause encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) and neurological diseases, and can affect the heart, liver, inner ears, and eyes (chorioretinitis). Recent research has also linked toxoplasmosis with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, and schizophrenia. Numerous studies found a positive correlation between latent toxoplasmosis and suicidal behaviour in humans. (Source: Wikipedia.com)

Here is a link to an article about the disease:

So after a great deal of complaining from someone in our compound, they finally "cut the poop", and spread it around.  So in essence, they are distributing the poop, maybe sharing the poop, or possibly dealing the poop.  

It doesn't change the fact that the cats are still here and the cats will still poop.  

What a crappy place!

4 weeks to go!

Cuttin' Poop Hill.
