I'm worried about him getting ****ed at me. I did manage to squirt
some of the liquid into one ear but maybe the living room isn't the
best place since the resulting shower was a bit of a mess. I didn't
get to use the QTip to clean it out though.

Get someone to help you if you can, otherwise the vet nurse.
Don't worry about him getting p*ssed with you, it's for his own good.
He
will forgive you in two days.

Two days? Wow, your cats have a much longer attention span than mine.


Simon is back on the suss list, having once helped (how long ago now?) with
spot on application.
Going into Boyfie's bedroom now scares him since I snatched him from his bed
to take him to TED recently. He has a very long memory.

I'm still failing miserably at this. I have found that I can put the
liquid on my finger and use my finger to clean his ear. Oddly that
doesn't bother him as much as trying to get a QTip into it. He seems
to trust my finger. And a brownish gunk does come out. And I wash my
hands before and after.

I'll check with the vet as to whether this is an acceptable technique.

I used to clean out my dogs ears with my finger with good results but I've
not tried it with my cats. Maybe use your little finger for cats?
I don't like using Q tips, you can get them in too far IMO and introduce
infection into the inner ear and once you do that it's a whole new ball
game.
I'm not an expert so ask your vet. As far as I know cleaning the ear out
with a finger will do no harm. I would have done the same thing in your
position.
