Cleaning cat’s ears

This item was filled under [ Cat Care & Grooming, Cat Grooming ]

What You Need:

  1. Olive oil or ear cleaner
  2. Cotton Balls
  3. Container for warm water
  4. Plastic eye-dropper

How?:

  1. Assemble supplies: olive oil or commercial ear cleaner, cotton balls, container for water.
  2. Warm the olive oil or ear cleaner to body temperature by placing the container in a warm pan of water.
  3. Place the cat on a table or counter.
  4. Put a drop or two of the liquid into the round opening of the ear canal.
  5. Gently massage the base of the ear for at least a minute, to work the liquid around.
    Repeat steps 4 and 5 with the other ear.
  6. Leave your cat alone for 5 minutes. He’ll do a great deal of head shaking, which will dislodge dirt and move it into the outer ear canal.
  7. After 5 minutes, use clean cotton balls to wipe away oil and dirt from the ear.
  8. Offer some treat after going through all this. Make them happy.

    This looks a little scary to do, but with such great instructions, I might be able to handle it. Very helpful post (Y) !

    At first I do not dare to do it by myself. I bring one cat to the vet, and ask them to do demo for me (I)

    Then Only I do it myself (@)
