Your mini split probably doesn't have a defrost function. This would all be specified in the users manual.

I don't know that we really needed a study for this. You can find the COP vs temp vs capacity curves for every heat pump out there. This will tell you exactly how many BTUs of heat the pump will produce given a watt of electricity input. I guess they were just validating that the curves were accurate?
Yeah, I've dealt with this situation before. People who let cats roam free like this seem to live in a world where there is precisely one socially acceptable exception to otherwise generally accepted neighborly decorum - cats. Suggesting that you don't want their cat on your property makes you the asshole in their eyes, because they literally cannot comprehend any solution to the problem. Obviously the sky is blue, and cats are allowed to shit wherever they want. Thus spake the toxoplasmosis.
In most places which have these laws, any cat which is allowed to roam free is considered feral unless it has a collar or something.
In general, many feral cats do not bury their shit. I have no idea why people keep saying this like it's a fact - I have dealt with this exact same, well, shit at several places I've lived. Most of the time it is cats shitting in the raised beds, but I have also seen some who like a certain plot of grass or weeds.
There literally is. You can respect your neighbors by not letting your cat roam free, the same way I don't let my dog roam free. I really do not understand why people have trouble with this very simple concept.
I can 100% guarantee you that the owners will just be extremely confused about the idea that people might not want other people's "pets" in their yard. I can 100% guarantee you that the response will just be "well it's a cat."
And it means that if something ever happens to this small animal, OP will get blamed for it if he says anything to the neighbors.
Once you achieve a certain level of not giving a fuck, just repeat their statement back to then in plain language and they will usually either storm off, freeing you from the conversation, or they will get the point, freeing you from at least the tedious part of the conversation.
I assume they mean like that one barenaked ladies song where they sing real fast but it isn't rapping.
On the other hand, equivocation is the bastion of cowards and simpletons.
A lot of people also don't understand that a heat pump is still heating your home, even though the air it blows might be a bit lower than your body temperature, so it feels "cool." When that happens people assume it has stopped working and switch to aux heat. This is one of the major reasons people insist that heat pumps don't work in the cold, even though they still have plenty of capacity margin to heat the dwelling.
My old system was actually set up so that it would pulse the electric aux heater every few minutes or so to help prevent this "drafty" feeling, and to extend the time between defrost cycles.
