Hi there! It sounds like your kitty's frequent head shaking is concerning you. While it might not seem like there's anything wrong with her ears on the outside, there are several reasons why this might be happening.
One possibility is that she might have an itch or irritation on the inside of her ears that you can’t see. This could be due to allergies, ear mites, or even a small amount of debris. Sometimes cats also experience discomfort caused by foreign bodies or wax buildup deeper in the ear canal.
If she’s also sneezing, rubbing her face, or scratching her ears, these could be signs of allergies. However, if she's shaking her head frequently and it continues for more than a day or two, or if you notice any redness, discharge, or a foul odor coming from her ears, it’s important to have her checked out by a vet.
For now, you might try gently cleaning the outer part of her ears with a damp cloth to remove any potential irritants, but be very careful not to insert anything into the ear canal.
If the head shaking persists or you notice any other troubling signs, I recommend booking a video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet. They'll be able to guide you through what to do next and ensure your cat gets the care she needs. Take care!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
