The black dots could be eggs, but can't be sure without a picture. Monarch eggs are white but will get darker right before they hatch. The aphids won't bother the eggs or cats but they will eventually hurt the plant. Just leave them until you can tell if the other things are eggs. The cats will eat right around the aphids. Look at how many I had in this pic! blech!
