The cat ear mites is a highly contagious ectoparasitic disease caused by ear itch mite and ear scabies mite. Ear mites are parasitic on the skin surface of cat's ear canal, with tough cutin and strong resistance, and feed on ear wax such as epidermal residue and grease in ear canal.

Ear mites can also spread to the human body, although the transmission rate is not high. At the same time, their ears will give off a pungent smell. This smell is unpleasant to the owner, so don't let cats with ear mites sleep with them when sleeping, which will affect the quality of sleep.

So it's best to wait until the cat has cured the ear mites before sleeping with the owner.
