If you want something soothing to put on it, emu oil is safe. I'm a bit surprised that he's getting a steroid for mites - did the vet say he's allergic? I know some cats are allergic to mites, but I thought they usually put ivermectin drops in cats' ears to get rid of mites (even body mites - apparently the ears soak it up into the bloodstream). Get better, Mooky, and please keep your itchies to yourself!
