I need help with kitten ears

Hi all.

Zee B, my 4 month old black moggy seems to have a problem with one of his
ears.

It is going to be difficult to try and describe it, but here goes .... His
left ear flap seems to have developed a raised arch, sort of like a ridge
that follows the tip of the top of his ear on the inside. Also, there are a
few raised patches further down the ear flap too.

I have done some research on the net, but all I found is ear mite, but there
is no dark discharge & he isn't scratching his ear or shaking his head. . I
also read about cat allergies and am wondering if this could be the cause.

Does anyone know what it could be ?

TIA

I think only a vet exam could tell you for sure what it is.

Could be anything. Is there anything new like a new kittylitter, any different
cat foods that are new?? Should get it checked out by a vet.

Thanks for answering, GreyTabbyLover. I can't think of anything new I have
given him. I shall take him to the vet & let the group know what he comes
up with.
