carriesnarf was kind enough to give me some ear cleaning medicine. Here follows "How to clean cat ears":
1. Grab cat. Easy on day one. Never easy again.
2. Wrap cat snugly in beach towel. This will hereafter be referred to as the 'kitty burrito'. The kitty burrito is very specific. Wrap it too loosely and kitty escapes. Wrap it too tightly and kitty dies. Wrapping it just a tiny bit too lose won't let kitty escape, but will let her backtrack into the depths of the burrito, like a strange terrycloth turtle.
3. Secure kitty burrito in lap.
4. Grab ear cleaner and try to squeeze into kitty ears. Realize bottle is sealed.
5. Unseal bottle. Since this takes two hands, release kitty burrito. Kitty escapes.
6. Repeat steps 1-3 again.
7. Squeeze ear cleaner into cat ear. Cat shakes head violently, spraying funky smelling ear cleaner everywhere.
8. Reposition kitty burrito, locking cat's head in immobile position. Squeeze in more ear cleaner.
9. Rub base of kitty ear. Be amused by the squicka-squicka-squicka sound it makes. Ignore glares from the burrito.
10. Wipe foul, nasty goo out of ears. Make mental note to get plants, not cats next time.
11. Repeat steps 7-10 on other ear.
12. Release cat. Act apologetic. Realize you have to do this for six more days.
