    A shot gun works wonders for strays. I'm kidding! Stray cats are a major 
peeve of mine, though the problem is the owners. It's not the cat's fault. 
Humane traps can be set and the animal taken to a local Humane Society or Pet 
Rescue organization. Contact either the police or a pet store that works with a 
 pet rescue group (or the group themselves). They might be able to help you.

  There's one along the throughway at the back of my townhouse (we don't have
  separate yards).  Every spring and summer, the birds and I enter into an
  agreement:  I get whatever I can reach and they get the rest!  I have seen
  birds really shake that tree down for berries, too, but I didn't realize
  that ST's like it so much.

  Unfortunately, we have so many stray cats running loose around here, I
  wonder if any birds will hang around it.  Anyone have ideas on how to
  permanently rid an area of stray cats?

  > At Ginter Bot Gardens today we walked around the main pond and the
  Children's Garden toward the upper pond, and there is a large mulberry tree
  full of ripe mulberries there on the left side of the gravel road. We were
  under it and noticed a Scarlet Tanager about 8 feet away, only about 8 feet
  off the ground. That was the closest we had ever been to a Scarlet Tanager.
  Before I could gather my senses and lift the camera, which had a 400 mm lens
  attached, the bird was out of that tree and into a nearby oak. Then we saw
  the female in the oak as well. Later we saw them again several times, but
  never that close again. If you know of a mulberry tree that is ripe you can
  use it to your advantage. They are very good at attracting all sorts of
  birds this time of year.
