We have 3 kittens in the house (our 2 bonded pair) and my mums. My mums is 2 months older than our girl and a lot bigger/stronger. It looks like her ear has been scratched or bitten in play. Mums cat plays too rough with her so we now shut him away when we arent at home. Is there there anything i should be putting on her ear? Or let it heal on its own? Its along the outside edge.

Can you post a picture of it? Any bite or scratch needs cleaning with warm water and plain dish soap. You can apply a topical antibiotic ointment such as Neosporin, but is it infected? If it is infected he’ll need to see a vet for oral antibiotics.
