AHC: Prevent Black Death from killing more than 10% of Europe

Your challenge is to make it so the Black Death kills no more than 10% of the European population, if it even arrives at all.

Bonus points if you can prevent the Black Death from having any real chance in Europe at all (like in Poland)
 
Before Black Death some pope, I don't remember his name, ordered to kill all cats. If he doesn't do that, there might be more rat killers. But I am not sure help even this so much. And perhaps Europeans are wiser with hygiene somehow.

That Mongol guy doesn't use dead bodies to bombard that city, no people escape to Europe and no plague
 
Crimea siege in 1347

In this siege, the mongols (some of them ill) launched dead bodies to Crimea, infecting the city, and some merchants (mostly from Genoa) that returned to their homes. This is usually accepted as the main outbreak of Black Death.

So i think the POD must be here. Somehow, the mongol army under Jani Beg (the Khan at this moment) must not besiege Crimea in 1345. His army was ill, and he launched the dead bodies in Crimea.

And well, some kind of measures, like burning bodies, more hygiene, etc...
