Over the years I've had 4 or 5 milkweed plants in my front of house flowerbed. I'll see lots of cats but have never seen a cacoon.Well, probably have but didn't know what it was. Well, after lurking on this forum a little last week I discovered a rather large cat enjoying the milkweed. So___the patio is getting re-screened, the clothespins have almost been defeated by the clothes dryer and the tomato cage isn't strong enough to do the job. So after following this forum a little I decided to cage on site in my front of the house flower bed. My cat is about 1 1/4 " long and ate about 1/8 of a leaf since yesterday afternoon. About how long will this dude continue to munch? Problems you forsee? Advice? Suggestions? All are welcome. I'm trying to learn.

Will this work? What else do I need to do? Suggestions welcome and like they said the first time I went salmon fishing after landing the fish, I'm not sure who would have own if that fish had all the help in the water that you had on land. Calling on all of you to help me land a 'butterfly'. Jean
