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.
