It's me again, Chris. Make sure you give your cat high-quality food with the proper balance of oil. Too little oil results in ragged coats. Make grooming sessions a special time with your cat. Most cats are fastidious creatures and usually revel in the attention.
Normal wax is light colored.
Dark wax may be the sign of an ear mite infestation. In this case, your cat should see a vet. You can clean your cat's teeth by lightly wetting a cotton ball and then dipping it in baking soda or salt and gently rubbing the teeth. On average, cats wash themselves 20 times a day. The best way to find fleas is to comb your cat's coat with a fine-toothed metal comb.
