They will eat them to the ground, but not the seeds, and it wont faze the plants, IF you have other plants- parsley, fennel, rue then you can redistribute the small cats, but, I would just be adding plants to what you have. No one told the butterflies there were rules to where they lay...I had a ton of cats this spring, but no clue how many survived the onslaught of wasps and grass spiders that was stinging the cats and carrying them off. You have so many burn acres around you I believe they are searching despearately for host plants this year.
