I've noticed my cat has been sneezing frequently and also scratching his ears alot. The inside of his ears are dirty. His behavior isn't any different, he still is very playful and seems to be happy. Is there any kind of over the counter medicines I can give to him or home remedies I can try?

Has the cat had its shots...as distemper comes to mind..or allergies.Ear mites inside the ears.There are a lot of cat diseases out there including a feline version of aids. I have cleaned out their ears as best you can and put some drops of baby oil or olive oil in the ear...massage it in good before it shakes its head.Do it every day for 3-4 days.It helps smother the mites.

Last week, my two cats sneezed clear wet liquid a couple of times and thought they were a bit lethargic - thought they were coming down with a cold. As is my practice, I crushed half a tablet of human grade Vit C (500mg) and mixed that with their wet food. The sneezing stopped, but I gave another dose of crushed vit C every other day for 4 ore days They are OK right now. Vit C worked for them, might work for your cat.

your cat has ear mites...its normal for all cats to have them but get some earmite stuff that comes in a bottle lika an eyedropper.it is over the counter.
you should put a few drops in its ears at least once a month to keep them clear and clean.trust me, i have a crapload of cats.

sounds like ear mites. Walmart has Hartz ear mite treatment at the cat section.

Give him a bath. If it continues, go to the vet.
