Eeuw, ear mites are nasty! When I was a teenager, we had a mama cat with a grown litter and a new litter, and a tom, and ALL of them got ear mites. I took just one kitten to the vet to get a dx and some meds, and he showed me under the microscope what the little buggers look like. No wonder the cats scratch their ears so much!

After I got the ear drops from the vet, I had to hunt down and medicate 8 cats twice a day! These were outdoor cats, mind you. Luckily, I was younger and more energetic then. And they actually were very tolerant - they seemed to realize I was trying to help them.

Your kitty looks so sweet! I hope the ear mites are gone.
