[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 335877, member: 1233"] Ear mites need to be checked if they are causing this kind of scratching. Cat scratch fever is a real thing caused by bacteria in the animal's nails. The cat can get infected with this from the kind of scratching you describe, just like people can. Our vet school advises weekly ear checks, or even more often, and at the first signs of stuff in the ears that is brown they say to use either warmish mineral oil (should be just slightly cool on the wrist, not as warm as a baby bottle) or using saline solution for contacts in the ear. Rub them and wipe the liquid out so it doesn't get all over. Do NOT use saline in the spray bottle. Only the squeeze bottle. If mites are there you should use medications gotten from the vet. The school does much research on stuff like this and they say that many of the home remedies can be safely used, but you must be careful. [/QUOTE]
