I keep the thistles going, even though I've never seen cats on them. It's still a good nectar plant and when the butterflies are happy I am also...I was seeing thistle blooming everywhere this year. I've got one stinging nettle plant. A friend grew some from seed her DIL collected while visiting family in Germany (she's a very sweet DIL to do that!) and she gave me one plant. I ordered some nettle seed, so hope to grow more. As long as I remember exactly where the plant is (it's well marked and not where I have to walk) the stinging part won't bother me.
BTW, this is no butterfly, but look at the frog my friend found in her yard. We were trying to ID it and someone suggested it is an American Green Tree Frog.
