Good for you Caroline! You can also try mineral oil - put half an eyedropperful in each ear, mush it around (technical term here) by massaging around the outside of the ears and then let them shake it out or mop it up with a cotton ball. Don't use any essential oils (bad for cats) and be careful if you have any over the counter ear cleaning solutions - even those made for pets. I got some pre-moistened ear cleaning pads from Drs Foster & Smith only to find out it contains salicylic acid (a derivative of aspirin) which is also a no-no for cats. <sigh>
