You might try to burn the end of the milkweed, it seals the sap, then put it in water. I know that is how you handle poppies to put in a vase. Who knows it may work, let me know if it does.

There is a barely visable with the naked eye wasp called a trycogramma (sp?) that will use the cats as a host for feeding. They could be the cause of cat death. They work great for web worms, just break open the webs. I have released some in my garden because we had three generations of web worms last year and I also have pecan borers.

Had two of these visitors today, they finally found the milkweed although the pic shows it on a Buddhleia. Yeah!

Good luck!
