We've had our female cat for about three months now and I just noticed that her ears are dirty and she loves for me to scratch them. We took her to the vet to get everything checked up on and got all her shots and treatment. Is there any way to tell if they are ear mites or if her ears are just dirty? Our male cat had ear mites badly when we took him off the farm, but Leya's ears don't have clumps of anything, it's mostly just waxy.
