this process is best done by 2 adults, one to hold the "burrito" and one to do the actual cleaning.

I myself have done the Kittyburrito to them and lets just say um........didn't work that well. haha

I have done it and it worked for me but I found out after a couple times doing it that the bigger the blanket the better. You can wrap it around more and tighter.

Get some Revolution from your vet...it is a 1x a month application that treats fleas, tick, etc and EAR MTIES....
please do not risk cats to over the counter ear mite solutions.
Also take advise on how to clean and treat if yeast infection.
Good luck...

It is up to you. If you would like to try to save yourself a little money then try what I told you. Has always worked for me in the past. Or you can take them to the vet and get the expensive stuff and use that. I can tell you or even show you the proper way to clean a cats ears, you could probably even google it. Its up to you.

Thank-you. That was real helpful. I am going to do an over the counter first and if it doesn't get better then I will take them to the vet. Thanks everyone for your help!!

I would the well pet clinic does stuff like that for cheaper. I think mine actually needs to get his ears checked also.

Both of my cats have been scratching at their ears alot lately. I have taken them to the vet for this problem before and all they did was clean them out. I hate seeing them in this pain. What is the best way to clean them out? I have tried a q-tip, but if you have a cat you know how that goes. Thank-you all for your help.

My cat was scratching her ears so bad to the point that they were bleeding. Turns out it was ear mites. There is a medicine that will get rid of it, and that's what you need. Sometimes the stuff you buy at a pet store will work but in my case it didn't. So I had to get medicine from the vet.
