How to protect my cat from mosquitoes and heal her bitten nose?

Question

My cat has been bitten several times by mosquitoes on her ears and nose. Her nose is now really a mess. She has been scratching at it. What can I do for her to keep the mosquitoes away (coming in the house isn't an option) and what can I put on her nose?

Revolution is a prescription medication that will repel mosquitoes. You can also find repellant ointments at the pet store that will help, though you can’t place them on the nose. I am concerned that it looks like there may be infection, and I would recommend that you have Bella checked out by a vet.
