" Hi. I'm Dr. Lauren from petside.com. Ear infections can be very uncomfortable to your cat. I'm going to show you an easy way to keep your cat's ears clean, so that they don't get infected. So before you start to clean your cat's ears at home, there's a couple of things that you want to make sure that you have. First, it's really important th you won't want to use cue tips because this couldcan actually damage the inside of your cat's ears. I prefer to use a piece of guaze and just wrap it around the tip of my finger. Then you're going to want to make a good ear cleaner. Your local veterinarian should care a cleaner that's both safe and effective. So what you want to go is take the piece of gauze and the just wrap it around the tip of your finger, like this. Then I take my ear cleaner and I soak the gauze with the cleaner. You then just want to reach in your pet's ear, and be gentle. You'd be surprised how much you can actually get out of their ear. Remember to do both ears. And this is something you'll probably want to do about once a week to make sure that your cat's ears nice and clean. I'm Doctor Lauren at petside.com, if you have any questions, feel free to email me at DoctorLauren@petside.com."
