Ear mites are a common problem in cats, especially in kittens. Ear mites are caused by a mite called Otodectes cynotis. These mites typically live within the ear canal, but can also be found on other areas of the body or in the environment. Ear mites cause intense irritation as they move about the ear canal feeding on epidermal debris and tissue fluid.
