Scat not to be confused with Sport Competition Anxiety Test, [1]is the technical term for the excrement of an animal or human, (and if Jesus was fully human he must have pooped). Scatology is the science of poop. Scatological language is poopy talk.

Sex

Scat also refers to sexual practices based around, well, poop. Since poop can contain nasty stuff like germs, playing with it requires appropriate attention to health safeguards.

Biology

An animal’s scat can tell scientists a great deal about its state of health, reproductive cycle, whether there are toxins in its environment dogs are trained to sniff scat out. [2]

A creature An animal that is a scatophage is a "poop eater". Flies, dung beetles and some others insects are scatophags. Young mammals such as elephants eat the scat of their mothers to show filial respect to get bacteria that they need to digest their food. Rabbits and some other small herbivores pass soft pellets which they eat again so more of their food is digested when food passes through the gut twice.

Plants absorb nutrients from scat and other animal waste mainly through their root system, then we eat the plants.

Luther

Martin Luther suffered a lifetime of difficulty removing it from his bowels, see Trivia about Luther.

Jazz

Scat is also, innocently enough, a style of vocalization in jazz, famously employed by Ella Fitzgerald - notably in Jerry Springer: The Opera one character with a scatological fetish starts scat singing (such is the height of the wit employed). If you're looking for companions for jazz singing and water polo, don't put up a personal ad expressing an interest in "scat and watersports."
