Expert Answer

Frequent scratching at the ear root suggests discomfort; the owner should check the ear root for abnormality. If there is a wound, disinfect it and use antibacterial medicine.

If the ear shows itch or hair loss, it is likely an infection needing cleaning, disinfection, and anti-inflammation. If symptoms do not ease, take the cat to a vet.
