Because the cat's auricle is large and its opening is upward or outward, if there is no hair, foreign bodies such as water and insects can easily enter the ear canal, causing ear canal damage. Healthy cats grow a lot of hair in their ears, which can play a protective role.
If the cat's ears are abnormal, such as mites and otitis media, it is necessary to cut off the hair in the ears to facilitate treatment. The ear problem is solved and the hair can grow back.
Precautions: After the hair in the cat's ear is cut off to treat the diseases in the ear, attention should be paid to protecting the ear to prevent foreign bodies from entering the ear canal and causing more problems.
