When you first open them the roots need to be hydrated. But leaving them in the water longer won't hurt.

LOL about the cats digging! I found some dusty miller at Lowes on clearance for $1 a flat of six and bought five flats. Planted them all today and as soon as I finished my cat jumped into the flower bed, dug a hole and took a dump. You'd think he'd wait until I was out of sight at least!
