Mineral oil a couple drops they will suffocate. Do it for awhile so you get the eggs too.

Susan: I third that remedy. My inside cat, Gracie, hates when I put the drops. But-- she loves when I rub her ears in circular motion to spread the mineral oil. As you know, with cats, you've got to do it fast!!!! Good luck. Keep us posted on those sweet kittie ears.
