My Cat's Ear Mite Nightmare: What I Learned
So, my cat turned into a head-shaking, ear-scratching maniac overnight. I thought he was just being dramatic (as usual), but then I saw the black gunk in his ears and realized something was seriously off. Cue my panic-Googling: ear mites. Turns out, these tiny crab monsters are contagious and love to party in multi-pet homes. If you’ve got more than one furball, congrats—you’re basically running a mite hostel.
I tried peeking in his ears (he hated it), but the real answer came from the vet. Pro tip: don’t self-diagnose. Ear mites can look like allergies or infections, and the wrong meds can make things worse. The vet did a quick check, prescribed meds, and now I’m on a cleaning spree—ears, tails, toys, everything. Lesson learned: watch for the signs, don’t skip the vet, and maybe rethink letting your cat hang out with the neighborhood strays.
