You still have time to get some more pots. Or would the grown pepper
plants not transplant well?

As for the cats disturbing the pepper plants, at least eating them,
that might be self-solving after they eat one of them. You did say
that you expected these peppers to be hot. But then someone on this
list mentioned feeding their cat hot curry when the cat got too
curious and found that the cat liked it.
