I checked with my friends at the Brazilianisms podcast, and the term for poo is “cocô.” The circumflex is important, so unless Olly’s cat has a circumflex over the second “o,” the name don’t mean shit.

The very same! Well spotted, Cuthbert. The cat was a bit more sure-footed when we saw them, though; must have been practicing over the past year.
