It may be some kind of Skipper cat. Can you take a good clear pic and then crop it with an editing program like Picasa? We might be able to then get a better id.

Sorry, I still can't tell. You could Google Skipper caterpillars and see if you find a match.
Here's one that looks somewhat like it. Scroll down a bit.

Thanks flygirl. I believe it is the silver spotted skipper.
