I was just cleaning his ears. I put TP on my finger and gently swab the inside of the ears. Well he acted like it was really bothering him and he kept swiping at one ear with his front leg. Then I noticed little dark specks on the white part of his leg. That sounds like ear mites doesn't it? Do indoor only cats usually get ear mites? Oh yeah, I was also rubbing his ears to get him to shake his head, ya know loosen up the crud, and he kept making these little grunting noises like it was bothering him, so naturally I stopped. Poor guy
