==Signalment==
"Jamie", a 6 month old, male DSH cat has been admitted for routine castration.
==History==
Jamie's owner has no particular concerns about him but does tell you that he occasionally sees Jamie scratching at his ears.
==Clinical Examination==
The vet performs a clinical exam and finds the following:
*There are moderate amounts of dark crumbly wax in both ears and when examining these with an otoscope, Jamie makes vigorous attempts to scratch at them.
A picture of one of the ears is shown.

What is the most common cause for pruritic ears of this appearance in a young cat?
What might you expect to see on otoscopic examination?
*Click [[Clinical Case 4 - Page 2|here]] to view some of the wax under the microscope.
