Why is my outdoor cat shaking her head, hissing, and scratching ears?

Question

Hi, i am really worried about my cat. She's been an outdoor cat her whole life but recently ive noticed her shacking her head and hissing, as though she was in a lot of discomfort and scratching her ear and rubbing her ear of thing constantly. I keep saying it to my parents but they're insisting she's fine. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed

Tara is scratching and rubbing her ear possibly because she has something going on in that area. She might have flea infestation or ear mites infestation or an ear/skin infection. The only way to make sure she hasn’t got anything going on, would be by examining her and examin her ear. Good luck. I hope my answer was helpful.
