Why Would My Cat's Ear Be Blown Up Like A Balloon?
My cat's ear looks like a balloon or air blister. The entire ear is affected. It appears to be filled with air not fluid. It does not appear to hurt her, since she is cleaning it and will let me touch it, but she is shaking her head like it may tickle. Any idea on what would cause this?

I use to be a veterinary technician, and it sounds like a "hematoma" which is serum filled "bubble" so to speak. It is caused by the kitty shaking her head, which in turn has ruptured a blood vessel. The reason she is shaking her head now, is because it feels funny to her. You need to take her to a Vet., he will lightly sedate her, lance it so it will drain, and she will be fine.

It is due to some stingy insect. Most probably your cat has got it from some mosquito bite or other pest. And it is an infection. She must be suffering from pain. So you should visit a vet for your cat.
