If a cat has fluid in its ear, it can be a sign of several things, such as an ear infection caused by bacteria or fungus. Sometimes an infection can be caused by ear mites (signs of which can be dark crusty or waxy material inside the ear, sort of like coffee grounds; cat prone to shaking or scratching its head). There are remedies available at pet stores for mild ear mite infestations, but if your cat has a severe infestation, or if you suspect something else is causing the fluid, such as a bacterial or fungal infection, it is best and safest for your pet to consult a veterinarian. Hope your cat feels better soon!
