I wouldn't recommend the Rode Dead Cat unless the budget is really
tight - they are pretty flimsy and moult as soon as you touch them.
The k-tek slip-on fuzzy I bought to replace the dead cat brought a
significant improvement in terms of wind resistance.
For some weird reason any email I send that includes "K(numeral six)"
is getting blocked somewhere along the way.
