There is hair on a cats ear because they need hair to keep dust, dirt, bugs and so on, out of the ear. When a cat stops scratching, it means that the mites have been killed. if your cat is scratching its ear, I recommend taking it to your local vet. It only takes one mite to start the whole itching frenzy again, so I recommend NOT cutting them. if you do so, i would talk to a Vet tech. Hope I helped!

Do cats ears need to be cleaned by vet?
For most species of cats, and in most cases, no; cat's ears have guard hairs to keep most foreign matter out, and are largely self-cleaning. In some cases, notably ear mite infestations, and conditions that cause an excess production of ear wax, cleaning may be needed, and a vet should handle that. Some breeds, such as the Cornish Rex, lack guard hairs and may need their ears cleaned occasionally; that should also be handled by a vet.

How do nose and ear hairs stop pathogens?
Nose and ear hairs act as a first line of defense against pathogens by trapping dust, allergens, and microorganisms that enter the respiratory and auditory systems. The fine hairs, known as cilia in the nose, work alongside mucus to capture and expel these particles, preventing them from reaching deeper into the body. This filtering mechanism helps reduce the risk of infections and maintain overall respiratory health. Additionally, the hairs in the ear help prevent foreign objects and pathogens from entering the ear canal.
