I think cats are drawn to gardens for all the activity they see from afar. The flutter of butterflies for one major thing.

Love the pentas and that was such a good price for wonderful long blooming butterfly attracting plants too. I was going to suggest daylilies for this soggy area, but forgot about your deer issue. We have had good luck with the voles not bothering our daylilies even though several are planting right over the varmints run.
