How often do cats clean their ears?

A healthy cat's ears are fine to clean once a week or once every half month, as over-cleaning can also cause injury to your cat's ears. However, if your cat has ear mites, fungus, or bacteria, it will need to be cleaned several times a week, or even twice a day if it is serious.

To clean a cat's ear canal, you need to use a special ear-cleaning solution or saline solution. Put the cleaning solution or saline solution into your pet's ear canal, gently rub the root of the ear several times, then release the pet to shake off the liquid and dirt on its own, and finally use a cotton swab to roll and clean the outer ear. Normal cat ear canals do not need to be cleaned every day, and can generally be cleaned once or twice a week depending on the cat's physical condition.
