They were Polydamas cats, and they got big and fat, but I don't know if any of them made it to adulthood.
I've since moved the pipevine from its pot under the banana tree to a permanent location under a trellis in the front bf garden. It's been growing beautifully, has lots of new tendrils, just waiting for some little cats! I saw a Polydamas back in January flitting around it, but never found any eggs. :-(

This is a pic from December, it's grown a lot since then.
