Ear wax is actually good for your cat but too much ear wax buildup isn’t. Maine Coons have gorgeous ears with ear tufts. These ear tufts actually help keep debris out and help to filter sound. I find that older cats don’t usually have a lot of buildup, but young kittens tend to.
Since some cats are prone to wax buildup, cleaning their ears is a very important part of upkeeping your cat’s hygiene. You also don’t want to over clean your cats’ ears and only clean your cats’ ears with ear wipes if your cat has healthy ears and their ears are not infected.
What you need:
- 1/4 cup of water
- 1/4 cup of white or apple cider
- Witch Hazel 1 tablespoons
- Boric Acid 2 tablespoons
- bottle
- cotton makeup rounds
Place these ingredients into a bottle and shake. You never want to pour these ingredients into your cats’ ears. Instead pour it over a cotton makeup round. Never use cotton swabs or Q-tips. This recipe stabilizes the pH of your cat’s ears while cleaning their ears.
