Hello, everyone.

I’m aware this is quite a stupid question but I’m just wondering if it’s a common reaction or not.
My kitty had his ears checked and cleaned at the vet today and he’s been occasionally flattening his ears to the side since we’ve been back.
No pain, he’s been scratching at them at times but nothing too excessive to cause worry. He just has this miserable Yoda look and it both saddens me because he’s obviously bothered by it and makes me want to laugh.
I’m sure it’ll go away on it’s own once he sleeps it off but have you noticed similar behaviour with your own kitty too?

He may be bothered by some residual fluid left behind by the cleaning. It may be a new 'feel' for him to have clean ears too. If it continues tomorrow you may want to call the vet and see what they say. He may have gotten a slight injury from the cleaning, you never know......
