Persistent ear scratching in cats often points to ear mites, allergies, or an infection. Ear mites are common, especially in multi-cat households, and cause intense itching, redness, and dark, waxy discharge. Allergies, both environmental and food-related, can also manifest as itchy ears. Bacterial or yeast infections thrive in the warm, moist environment of the ear canal and require specific medication. It's important to have a veterinarian examine her ears to determine the exact cause and prescribe appropriate treatment. Untreated ear issues can lead to more serious problems.
