Cats are very intuitive and know who is and who is not a 'cat person'. I too love pussy cats, but regrettably I'm not allowed a pet here, partly because my tenancy agreement says so, but partly because I'm asthmatic.

why is this?It isn't not as thought other parts of my body are not available for biting including the left side of my nose.
I now have a permanent itch on the side of my nose
Get a bottle of Aeroguard and no insect will come near you let alone bite you.

Re: Insect bites
Citronella oil repels most flying insects.The only time I have ever been bitten was last summer - by a spider in my garage. But that was my own fault - I had disturbed her web which was full of egg pods!
It really hurt and I felt quite sick for a couple of days.

Re: Insect bites
I walk a lot in the countryside, and get bitten a lot around the ankles, even when wearing jeans tucked in my socks, or with proper gaiters that protect against ticks. Must be something very small getting in. I find Eurax ointment very effective in reducing the itching, but sometimes the swellings take ages to reduce.|
