Cats can get ear mites from other cats who have them, or plants that have ear mites on it. But most cats who get ear mites are usually outdoor cats. Other cats can give your cat ear mites because the those little annoying buggers are very contagious. Or if you have a cat and they play around plants, they could catch it if that plant had ear mites on it.

Will dish soap help ear mites in cats?
Do not use dish soap in your cats ears. It may do more harm than good and it will not get rid of ear mites. It also cause a secondary infection such as a yeast infection or other bacterial infection by throwing off the ear's natural balance. If you notice your pet has ear problems - odor, shaking of the head, scratching or rubbing at the ears - take it to your veterinarian. There are special treatments for every ear problem, and it takes an ear cytology to find out what the root of the problem is so it can be fixed.

Only a vet should be doing this procedure. Your cat needs to see a vet. If you were to try, your cat could die from infection, or you could be in trouble too for causing it to suffer. Vets can do this quickly and painlessly, as well as provide further treatment that this cat may need.
