Scratchy cat

[ANUSHIKA]

My cat has this habit of scratching her ears and head so much it bleeds or causes a little scab , she doesnt have fleas or anything she is always checked and treated, she doesn't seem to be in any pain she is still her usual naughty self , does anyone else's cat do the same?

Has she been checked for ear mites inside the ears? That might be causing her to scratch so much. My cats had them a long time ago, and all that was needed was some ear drops from the vet, and that cleared it up. Hope you get her sorted out! :-)

No but she has for fleas and had the powder put on her is war mites a comp different thing or would the flea powder get rid of them.

Anushika - I'd agree with flirty def ear mites, excess of ear wax or something like a grass seed in her ear [that's what my mog had] it drove her & us crazy. Get the vet to check her out, when you put the drops/ointment in don't have your best kit on you'll get covered when she shakes it out

[flirty41]

Yep Anushika, ear mites are different, and need different treatment. And chef's right - instill drops as instructed and stand well back - unless you want to get covered in waxy mucky gloop!! Good luck!

Thankyou both looks like im off ot the vets or can i go a decent petshop :)

I'd go to the vet's. As chef said, it might just be excess wax, or it could be a grass seed, or as I mentioned, it could be mites. Best to get puss checked over to get the right treatment.

silly puss - ours used to do similar. Maybe hot in this weather. Maybe bored.
