kitten scratching ears
Marti
He may have ear mites, which cause much itchiness and thus scratching. It is very common and easily treatable. The inside of the ear(s) will have noticeable black areas, which are the mites (microscopic). You can buy over-the-counter medicine (found at pet stores), or be sure about it (it could also be a type of fungus) and take him to the vet (he should get his shots and be "fixed" also, of course, anyway). Be sure and do something, though, as any of these conditions are miserable for the animal. Good luck!
