So with a impending trip to france coming up. I have decided to use the bait provided by the lake to negate any risk with current rules and potentially (although minute) having it confiscated.
Instead I would like to take some liquids with me to add a edge and do something a little bit different.
The lake does have decent sized cats in it, which I would prefer to steer clear from.
As such can anybody suggest a liquid that may suit this more then the usually fish/krill extracts?
Already have hemp oil to use as one part of it

You won't avoid the cats ,they eat anything. If there are any sort of silver fish etc in the lake then all you will do is draw them in with your non fishy liquids which in turn bring in the cats. If you really want to avoid them the best you can then light baiting ,fishing for a bite at a time, with large particles and nut based boilies only would be your best option. Or just enjoy the cats for the big hard fighting beasts that they are.

You've got no chance, they will eat anything you drop in the water. You're better fishing a water without cats if you don't fancy tackling them.

I can only second that. They eat everything... I've caught them on tigers, boilies of all tastes, plastic, etc...
But I've heard in the past that the whiskey flavour of Nash was a bit of cat proof.
This is only hearsay... Never tested it.

Thanks for the replies some good suggestions.
I'm fully aware they will eat anything. Just want to minimise the chances as much as possible.
I've had them to 150lb in the past and wasn't a good memory playing it in the rain for a hour at 3am. If I was to fish for them (I would like to on Ebro in future) then I would like to have the appropriate tackle. The big one I landed had 4 other rigs in its mouth.
