Hi Onalee. I believe you have IO moth larvae there (Automeris io) They are in the Giant Silkworm moth group or Saturniidae family. I hope you didn't touch them......those are stinging spines. IO moth larvae eat many different plants. Were they all together in a group? IO's are gregarious in their early instars and then become solitary feeders until pupation.
Last year I raised a bunch of them that I found on Redbud.
Is this your cat?
