that sounds like she has ear mites. you need to take her to the vet. they will clean out her ears and give you some medicated drops to put in her ears.

Sounds like ear mites. I would take her to see the vet, but, You can ususally go to your local Vet's office or pet store and purchase flee mite ear drops over the counter. I bought a kitten at a pet store once and she had these. If you have any other pets, treat them as well even if they don't have them cause they can spread from one pet to another through close contact.
Good luck! :)

She probably has ear mites, possibly combined with old ear wax. Take her to the vets and have her ears flushed out. This is a common problem with cats, especially those who go outdoors themselves or have been exposed to cats who go outdoors. Some cats are also prone to having more ear wax than normal, just like humans can be, but chances are that your kitty just needs to be washed out once and she'll be fine.

Your cat could have ear mites. They are pretty easy to get rid of, but there can be complications if nothing is done. You should take her to a vet in case there is some type of an infection also.

Yep, sounds like ear mites. If she's also shaking her head and scratching, and you see alot of black/brown stuff, then it's ear mites. You pet store has remedies and it's cheaper than taking her to the vets.

It sounds to me like your kitty might have Ear Mites. They are easily treated with over the counter products like mite-x. You can get them at most pet stores. If you delay it could result in the cat having permanent hearing loss.

ear mites, the vet can teach you how to take care of this problem! You can take care of them with over the counter medicine but its best if you let the vet show you how to clean out her ears just right :)

Get a solution to wash out her ears from the pet store, if that doesn't work you'll have to take her in.
She might have ear mites.

He might have mites in his ear then if you take him to the vet, his ears might smell too.
