Catnip is a good choice, but as far as I know, there are no commercially
produced catnip products. We're wondering whether to make a catnip/isopropyl
extract, because we have a cat.

That would be a huge risk should the poor thing ever find a way to
consume some. The toxicity would be swift.

I have catnip spray for cats. My cats don't seem fazed by it. It's a bit
oily. I know one thing, my home grown nip has the best effect on cats,
second by valerian root.
I don't know if I'll ever test the nip spray. Mosquitos have not been a
problem in the past, but it's been rainy. Mixing nip with alcohol might
work.

Use ethanol.

I'm not liking that notion either.

Maybe just boiled into distilled water?

Ethanol Toxicosis in Cats

Exposure to ethanol, either orally or through the skin, is a common
source of toxicity in household pets. Depression of the central nervous
system is typical of ethanol poisoning -- expressed as drowsiness, lack
of coordination or loss of consciousness. Other effects may include
damage to body cells, and symptoms such as incontinence, slowed heart
rate, and even heart attack.

Ethanol poisoning in cats can occur as a result of exposure to dyes,
inks, disinfectants, mouthwashes, paints, perfumes, pharmaceuticals,
gasoline, and certain beverages.

One of my cats hated the smell of alcohol, used in those pesticide
dispensers on neck. They don't seem to like the smell of beer.

I often get drowsiness, lack of coordination, and loss of consciousness.

From the Deet? That's not a good sign at all.
