How to tell if my kitty has ear mites? And what does it look in the ear?

I see my kitty scratch only one of her ears. She doesn't scratch the other one a lot. Theirs a bit of less hair near the ears then the other one.Also she's an indoor cat. So, can she still get ear mites? I looked in her ears and I only saw really small pieces of brown(then she meowed and moved away). But I think thats ear wax. She has a shot coming up on the 2nd so I will ask the vet then. I have 1 other cat and I checked his ear and he seems fine.

Ear mites look like coffee grounds stuck to the inside of the ears.

Yes, one ear could be more infected than the other.

Both cats need treatment (regardless of symptoms) to completely elliminate the infestation.

The vet can tell you more. DON'T USE ANY "OVER THE COUNTER" OR "HOME REMEDIES". They make more of a mess than they actually help anything.

Cheers!

The best way to tell is to look into the ears. If there are tiny black specs inside them and your kitty is itching at them a lot, your kitty could have ear mites. There are several home solutions, however I would personally recommend taking your kitty to the vet just to be on the safe side.
