@Sonicdash0 I’m glad to hear that none of your cats have ear mites. Bonnie (English Springer Spaniel that my parents and I owned on Mira Vista Court in Daly City,CA) had ear mites. Drops were applied into her ears. She waggled her head in a fast fashion and boy it sucked to have ear mites in the ears.

I already posted it above but the only way to cure it is medication. just cleaning it out doesn’t actually make the problem of the ear mites go away as they lay eggs within the ears and will just keep coming back. The medication is expensive but worth it and it saves your cat a great deal of irritation, pain and unease and cures it right away.

well ear mites is very common among cats unfortunately and if one cat has it, it will infect ALL of the other cats that are around them. So unfortunately the only real way to get rid of them is to get them medication. otherwise, they can rupture their eardrums and do severe damage from scratching. the medication is very expensive but worth it as when my cat had it, it cured it RIGHT away.

I’m pretty sure cleaning cat ears are not required..

this is my cat, this is what he does. i clean his ears and he scratches. i have to be careful because he’ll cut the inside of his ear with his claw.

yes there is. my cat has them. try taking a towel and put it over her and cover the paws. allow the head to remain out. rub her and calmly talk to her. then try an otc solution from ptco or petsmart. =) hope it works!
