You can tell by the leaves that they think they have a tasty dinner here! LOL. I think those cats are so pretty though. Anyone know which butterflies they are? Great photo!

Thanks Lin! They are cool, look like their former cat selves don't they but stripes instead of polka dots!

Thanks - I have tons of these vines and *tons* of butterflies (and cats) to go along with them! Love them!
