My Cat Won’t Stop Scratching Her Ears?!

So, last week my cat, Luna, turned into a head-shaking, ear-scratching maniac. At first, I thought she was just being dramatic (classic Luna), but then I noticed her ear looked red and there was this weird gunk inside. Cue panic googling. Turns out, cats aren’t supposed to scratch their ears nonstop. If you see discharge, swelling, or if your cat’s basically breakdancing to scratch an itch, it’s vet time. Don’t try to clean the ears before the appointment—the vet might need a sample. Mine ended up with ear drops and a cone of shame (she’s still judging me). Pro tip: never stick anything in your cat’s ear canal. Let the vet handle it. And if you get prescribed meds, follow the instructions like your life depends on it (because your cat will definitely act like it does). Moral of the story: If your cat’s ears look weird or they’re scratching like mad, don’t wait. Get help. Your cat (and your sanity) will thank you. #CatCare #PetHealth #ItchyEars #Pets #Cats
