If your cat's ears are constantly twitching and she seems agitated, it's a good idea to get her checked by a vet to rule out any underlying issues. Cats' ears can twitch due to various reasons ranging from benign to more concerning medical conditions.
- Check for other symptoms: Is she scratching her ears, shaking her head, or having balance issues?
- Watch her behavior: Is she more irritable or less interactive than normal?
- Look for signs of redness, swelling, or discharge in the ears
Ear twitching can sometimes indicate an ear infection, ear mites, or even allergies. Cats have very sensitive ears, and agitation could be a response to discomfort or pain. While you didn't notice anything unusual during your check, some ear issues are not easily visible without specialized tools. It's important to address this issue promptly as it could lead to more discomfort or exacerbate if left untreated.
