I advise to you all to change to curtains after a liberal soaking in vinegar - your home's may smell like fish and chip shops but at least they will not be attacked!

BTW I found that filling a little water pistol with diluted vinegar and water - and when catching Bastet doing anything she shouldn't be doing - ie Blind Stalking (Federal offence in AU) I spray her with it. The smell and taste she hates with a passion but I have beautiful blinds, furniture and carpet and if you catch them unawares all the better because they won't do it even when you leave home. Now to work on family ....
