I say that with no written backing, just my experience. I did once and realized the cat had part of the skin on it, and it ended up dying. So just as a caution I only move the leaf or stem now.
Here is a shot of how it crawls out of the previous skin. It puts down a film and sits it's rear there..still for a day...then is able to crawl off leaving it behind. It will turn around and eat it usually, my thought is to hide it from predators.
