My cat's scratching ears, black stuff. Is it earmites? Is it urgent?

Question

My cat keeps on scratching her ears and there is small black stuff faling from them when scratching..I think the stuff are dry blood...i will take her to the vet in few days but is it something dangerous should I take her immediately? I can see that there are small dots on her ears from the inside which I thought first are birth marks..But they are the small black stuff...and they are getting less.

It's probably earmites, they usually look like ground coffee or dried blood, very irritating for your cat, you should take her to the vet ASAP in order to get it treated, it is not life threatening though.
