I feel this subject will be of great interest, especially to several Catters of my ken.
Mumblin' got eaten alive at Broadstairs, whereas they left me alone. I thought it was to do with my medication, but an interesting item popped up on the TV. There is an Indian tree, the neem, which has a perfume that is aparrently disliked by biting insects. I use neem products to combat skin problems. Strangely, it was the herbalist in Broadstairs that put me on to it.
