It sounds like your cat might have mosquito bites on her ears, which is quite common if she spends time near open windows. These can appear as small, raised bumps and are generally not a cause for serious concern.
- Monitor the bumps for changes in size or number.
- Ensure your cat is comfortable and not excessively scratching the affected area.
- Consider mosquito prevention strategies for your home.
Mosquito bites on cats usually resolve on their own without the need for medical intervention. However, it's important to keep an eye on the bumps to ensure they don't increase in size or become infected. Consider using window screens to reduce indoor mosquito activity and discuss preventative options with your vet.
