Cats need to have their ears cleaned regularly to prevent buildup of ear wax. Thus it is important for cat parents to learn how to clean a cat's ears properly to avoid inflicting injury to the sensitive issues of the ears. Just like any grooming regimen, it is important for pet cats to get used to the process while still very young so they will keep still while their ears are being cleaned. It also helps to make each ear cleaning session a positive experience with lots of positive reinforcement including lavish praise and your pet's favorite treats.

Ear cleaning sessions are also excellent opportunities to check your pet's ears for mites, wounds, lumps, and abnormal discharges that needs prompt veterinary attention.

Some feline breeds such as Persian cats are more predisposed to ‘otitis externa' (an inflammatory infection affecting the external ear canal).
