A variety of black cherry tree is what they like here! The little cat starts eating the leaves right at the tip, leaving the main leaf stem, and then it keeps eating moving away from the tip. There is always a little cluster of uneaten leaf stuff wadded up and usually hanging down. That is how I spot them. It's unusual to spot an egg...I've only seen the cats, strangely enough. I haven't found any this year, I assume that's because of this really long drought.
