Ear Infections, Feline - contd.

ClinicalSigns
Most cats that have problems with their ears will shake their heads, scratch the ears, and rub their heads on surfaces.  The ears may have an odor to them.  Sometimes the ear can develop an aural hematoma, or a swelling on the earflap that is soft and warm to the touch, which results from repeated scratching and shaking.
