The ears of cats are areas especially exposed to all kinds of injuries. Wounds caused by fighting can infect. Continuous scratching can also cause injury and infection. White cats in particular tend to suffer from burns, by the action of cold or by the action of the sun, which may lead to the development of tumors.
The veterinarian should be consulted whenever you suspect of these problems.
Mite
The secretion of dark brown wax is caused by mites. Mites are usually a problem only if there is a large quantity of them in the ear of the cat. If they spread to the inner ear they can damage the hearing of the animal. Scratching ears persistently and shaking head are signs of mite infestation.
Usually the problems in ears, like wounds and infections, and infestation of mites, are treated with drops prescribed by your veterinarian.
