Natasha has never been a cat that's sensitive about her ears. However,
over the last few weeks it's gotten so that any contact with them
causes her to flip them (the "make whatever's touching me go away"
flip). She also started rubbing her ears on the corners of furniture.

She had a checkup last month for her kidney problem (still
successfully fighting a holding action on that one!), but since I
didn't recall seeing TED look at her ears when he checked her heart
and lungs and abdomen, I took her back this morning.

Natasha, an almost exclusively indoor cat (1), has ear mites! How the
heck does an indoor cat who has no contact with other animals get ear
mites???

(1) almost exclusively - in the summer she'll go out on my 2nd floor
balcony with me from time to time, to lie in the sun dappled shade of
an overhanging tree.
