Yeah, sometimes you wish there were a better way for the cats to safely eat...and poop...on plants outside! But the sleeves and whatever they call those larger things can be problematic also, so usually I just go with containers indoors. Most of the butterflies that were hanging around outside have moved on. Just a few are still nectaring on the blooming plum tree outside. The tree is starting to put out leaves also, so now tiny spent white flower petals are starting to accumulate on the ground beneath the tree. Spring is here and the Coral Honeysuckle is blooming also. Yesterday, I saw my first 2016 Monarch at the nursery in the city nearby. Yep, it was laying eggs on the milkweeds for sale there, but no cats present that I noticed. My milkweeds at home, however, don't have anything except aphids.
