    Cat rubbing it's head on furniture...?

    My cat has been rubbing his head on all kinds of furniture - almost like he's scratching an itch - but it seems constant and on both sides of his head. Is this a symptom of ear mites? or some other health problem? Any information would be really appreciated.

    Countertops and tables

    I have 2 kittens, 8 months old. They've always climbed on the counters and tables, and I never was successful in getting them to stop, so eventually I just gave up. But they do always want to eat my food while I'm preparing and cooking it (I don't let them, but it's annoying) and I wish they...
