- Mineral insulation materials in the form of fine fibres can be damaging
- to people and pussy cats if breathed in. The fibres at brittle and can break
- into dust-particle sized sharp spikes. People wear masks over their
- nose and mouth when laying the stuff so I would recommend keeping cats
- away from it.
- I know it is hard. My Josephine would take any ungaurded moment to
- rush up the step ladder into the loft and hide there amongst the
- glass fibre insulation.
