This is two groups I've brought indoors (2 cats to each)
Don't know if I'll wanna keep up with the indoor groups and may put them back outside, but protected. For now, they're in my bedroom with the door closed so the kitty doesn't mess with them. When I was a kid there were plenty of Cecropia caterpillars around and I always brought them inside for the duration, but they stayed put, and didn't travel around like Monarchs. Have any of you out there done this with Monarch cats, or other type cats? which ones? Indoor or outdoor? Any tips to share?
"My work is loving the world. Here the sunflowers, there the hummingbird — equal seekers of sweetness. Here the clam deep in the speckled sand. Are my boots old? Is my coat torn? Am I no longer young, and still not half-perfect? Let me keep my mind on what matters, which is my work which is mostly standing still and learning to be astonished." — Mary Oliver, from Messenger
