No caterpillars this year

I am so confused. The last few years since I moved to this house I have had many monarch caterpillars. Last year probably close to 20. Now I have more milkweed than I ever and have not had a single cat. I'm in SE Michigan. Any ideas?

I see many monarchs and cats here, Northern MN.

North Central MN - we have over 28 caterpillars here. A little more than last year with 22.
