Why is my cat scratching her ears bloody and ripping paw fur?

Question

Hi my cat Prue is scratching at her ears to the point of bleeding and she is ripping the fur from her paws. My question is will this kill her and should I take her to the vet to put her down or let her spend the rest of her days at home? She has not been doing it long and she does not seem to be in too much pain. I'm really scared and I don't want to lose her. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed

First of all it's not a life threatening condition, it's likely an ear infection, very easy to treat, take her to your vet, they will prescribe an antibiotic ear drops and it will solve the problem in no time.
