Cleaning cats ears - not fun, but necessary.

Cats need their ears cleaned otherwise they can build up with dirt and moisture and get infected. Due to the curved shape of the ear canal it's a bit different to a humans ears so you can really get in there and give it a good swivel with a cotton ball and bud. Use a cat ear cleaner solution to loosen up dry bits.


Amelie's just had her ears cleaned and she's clearly overjoyed.


If the stuff that comes out is really thick or brown/yellow and smelly, it may be worthwhile having a Vet check it out. And if she's scratching at it or shaking her head a lot she may need one of these.

The best way to hold a cat is to sit it on your lap facing outwards and hold the cats head firmly so it doesn't swivel around too much. You might need someone to help you hold the body or wrap it up in a towel kitty-kebab style to keep all those sharp claws contained. Ears should be cleaned on a monthly basis.


It's a kitty kebab, hold the tomato sauce.
