Why is my 9 week old kitten scratching and how can I stop it. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | 3 months and 7 days old | 2 lbs

Kittens can scratch from an allergy or fleas or ear mites commonly. The only way to get her to stop is finding out what the cause is. Your vet can check for fleas and ear mites easily with an exam as they have an easy fix. Allergies can be more complicated whether environmental or food. There is nothing safe over the counter for cats to give for this so consulting your vet would be best.
