Assuming the honeysuckle is still brittle and straw-coloured, as it is in Switzerland, the cats will still be in their hibernacula. Generally, it is not possible to see the caterpillar inside the hibernaculum but occasionally it is open at the top and the 2nd instar larva can just be seen within.
Because a different honeysuckle species is used in the UK, with different habits, any advice I can give on finding hibernacula might not hold good there. Here, small leaves towards the outer parts of branches are tailored and rolled to make neat containers. These are sealed with silk and also made fast to the twig with copious silk. That is one way of telling if a rolled-up, brown leaf is a hibernaculum or just a rolled-up brown leaf.
This is a hibernaculum viewed from above, showing the silk securing it and a glimpse of the caterpillar inside:
A side view - it just looks like a dead leaf. Some are neater than this and some more scraggly. But all wil be rolled and sealed. Usually, you can see where the caterpillar has nibbled the leaf to make it easier to shape as it wants.
These hibernacula are very easy to find. The twigs are bare and leafless so any remaining dead leaves stand out very obviously.
