Hermes has been doing that shaking-head-scratching-ears combo for a week or two now. I checked his ears and it doesn't appear to be a mite problem, but you can never be too cautious. So, being a good and cautious cat owner, I went out and got some OTC ear mite treatment drops. Hermes was NOT impressed. Not with the towel imprisonment, not with having drops put in his ears, not with the rubbing of the base of the ears to insure proper drop placement, and certainly not with the cleanup with a slightly damp cloth. After I let him go, he looked straight at me and proceeded to shake his head violently, slinging ear mite drops ALL OVER THE PLACE. It was a good thing I was wearing my glasses.
