Has anyone found an actual safe way to keep mosquitoes away from cats (other than keep them inside)? My little girl demands 2-3 hrs outside every day, her name is Gabby for a reason, and she is getting bit on her ears. We have no problems with fleas, the few times over the years that she has gotten any, we do the flea comb/DE combo, and that problem gets nipped in the bud. However the mosquitoes here are horrible! We have both regular brown & a new import of an Asian tiger mosquito. The Asian one is really bad, hunts all day & night. Everything that I have seen that is labeled "natural" and "safe" for cats, contains essential oils that I know can cause damage to cats. The ones that I have seen normally contain a mix with some of the following (all toxic to cats) Peppermint, Tea tree oil, Eucalyptus, Citrus-based Citronella, etc. I just lost one of my furbabies last year to what was likely cancer (she went downhill and passed too quick for confirmation), and I certainly don't want to cause harm to my remaining little girl by trying to keep her bite-free. I'm contemplating trying to make a cat version of this dog mosquito net mask (
