The leaf looks like a mulberry leaf. They come in all different shapes.

The caterpillar looks like the dark form of the Yellow striped Armyworm, Spodoptera ornithogalli. They are very common and will feed on a wide variety of plants including mulberry.

Thank you both for the assistance. Since I posted the original image, the caterpillar has pupated and it emerged last night. Here is the fresh pupa showing some very vibrant colors. Attachments:
