It seems that these cats don't want to squat in the snow (not that I 
blame them). When only the sidewalks are clear, that's where they do it. 
The rest of the year, yeah, it's the garden or somewhere in the backyard 
(right under my foot, usually).

Could be. Most of them I see have collars, though.

Hmm,... I suppose this is getting a bit off-topic. Sorry about that!
