Unless you don't have much of a sense of smell I'd be surprised if you couldn't tell it was a cats offering. I don't have a great sense of smell but can detect a cat turd from quite so distance because it's the most noxious substance known to man.
I never find fox poo smells at all, even fresh. But here it's always small, black and dry - no bother really. I think the diet must count a great deal towards smell. I think our London foxes are pretty much veggie - living on mostly chips. And they don't drink enough water.
