Yeah... not that often, but now and then. I didn't really notice it, or thought it was anything to begin with, but she does shake her head and scratch some times during a day. Not when she's sleeping or being still that I've noticed though. Looking for something in her ears, but I can't get really close... she's shy. But from I've been able to se I can't see anything. Maybe something back there, but it's hard to tell. I can't smell anything either. Should I go to the vet?

Could be ear mites or an infection. If it's often and unusual enough that you notice, you should probably bring her to the vet. Can't hurt!

Yeah, it's a bit more often than I noticed when I started paying attention. I called the vet and got an appointment Monday. She's never visited the vet, so I'm a little anxious to how it goes. But at least I'll be able to check it out :)
