Best Answer

No, mineral oil would likely clog your cat's ears up and increase the risk of ear infection and hearing problems. If your cat's ears need cleaning, I would suggest talking to your veterinarian and getting a safe ear cleansing solution from him/her. The bottles typically cost $10-$15 in the US and will last for months, so it's not that expensive.
