Ears And Teeth

“Normally, a cat’s ears are perfectly clean,” says Anderson. “If there’s any wax or irritation at all, there’s probably something going on. If it’s a young kitten, it’s more apt to be ear mites. An adult or older cat sometimes will have a yeast in the ear that can cause some wax. Infections in cats’ ears compared to dogs is not very common.”

Strydio suggests using a little bit of a veterinary type ear cleaner on a cotton ball. Do not probe into a cat’s ear because you can hurt them very easily.

You should brush your cat’s teeth at home. “If they can do it every day or a couple of times a week, the more they can do it the better,” says Anderson.

Annual professional cleaning should be done by your veterinarian.
