Hi! I have one of 3 cats thats been having ear gunk lately.....Nala's ears have never been dirty before, I have checked, but, nothing was there....My dog Lucy used to clean out Nala's ears and Nala loved it...but Lucy(my dog) died a couple of days ago and since then, Nala's ears have gotton a brownish gunk inside.....I wanted to know if I could use a medicine dropper and drop alittle bit of peroxide in her ears? I would think it would do just as good on a cat than it does on people? Thanks! :D

This mat caught my eye because of its size and texture, which traps fine litter rather well. It's large enough for jumbo litterboxes, which is also a plus. It's not quite as easy to clean as a...

This scoop was a freebie with some clumping litter I bought last year, and I like it so much that I've bought a second one. It's perfect for fine clumping litter, which it sifts very thoroughly....

If she's having gunk build up a trip to the vet is likely in order. Build-up can be any number of things, including innocent wax or a bacterial infection. Either way, your vet should be able to give you drops or a cleaning solution for you cat.
I wouldn't feel comfortable using peroxide. I worry that it would be too strong since cats have really sensitive ears. There are a number of ear cleaning solutions available at most pet stores. If your vet rules out anything that needs medical treatment, you can try picking up a cat-specific cleaner.
Hope that helps. :)
