Typically, cats with ear mites will exhibit the following symptoms: 1. Scratching at the ears 2. Brown waxy debris in ears 3. Scabbing inside the ears and on the outside of the ears from the obsessive scratching Revolution is a product that works well and is applied topically. You can find this online or buy it from your veterinarian. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
