So to start, when I brought Prince home back in November he had a problem with shaking his head a lot and scratching behind his ear and neck. The first time I took him to the vet, Dr. Rowe tested for ear mites but found nothing other than some waxy buildup. She said he was a perfectly healthy kitten.
The second time I took him to the vet, a week ago, he was still shaking his head once in a while. She checked again, found no infection, no ear mites or anything at all to indicate he was anything less than a healthy cat. She even mentioned that if he had ear mites or an ear infection, her sticking the q-tip in his ear would cause him to squirm and react, which he did not do.
Now, I've brought Nikita home just this last week and what do you know, she's shaking her head quite often! So, I'm deducing that this problem isn't within the cats, but their environment. However, I'm in a small studio apartment, and with my bad sense of smell, I can't tell what could be causing this! Is it dust, could there be some sort of allergy affecting both cats, one since November? I don't know...
Do you guys have any idea, and in that case, do you know what I could do about it? I'm kind of lacking options, given the studio apartment, but it would be nice to figure out what's going on and how to correct it
