Aedes albopictus
"Felidae" react to plants that contain nepetalactones by licking them and rubbing them in their fur. Nepetalactones and nepetalactols repel some disease causing insects. For example, nepetalactols are able to repel "Aedes albopictus". "Felidae" typically hunt other animals by stalking them. This requires being still or slow movements, which allow insects to bite "Felidae" more easily. This would make evolutionary pressure select for the behavior of rubbing of natural insect repellent. This was proposed to be the reason for this widely preserved behavioral trait in "Felidae" in a paper published in 2021.
