Maybe she would use butter tubs or the like with the lids and drill holes for the stems. It is a lot safer. Or at least wrap the upper part of the stems with paper towels before putting them in the water. It would give something for them to hold onto climb out. Cats start out so tiny that they can be over looked. Can't tell you how many times eggs have come in on new food and been discovered only after they hatched and I almost threw them out with the old stems and debris. Hope she checks that too.

Don't push her too much and make her mad, it is super that she is helping you! My DH doesn't have anything to do with the cats or pupa...but he does tell me when one has emerged or he spots and adult in the garden.
