Hi there! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The ear lesions could be due to ear mites which are quite common in cats. Alternatively, it could be an ear infection or perhaps due to allergies. The urination and defecation inside the house could be behavioral though a medical issue cannot be completely ruled out. I recommend you take him to your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck!
