In 1998-99 we examined the carcasses of 101 stray cats from the Ljubljana area for ectoparasites in the ear. The cats were transported to the pathology laboratory for examination after they had been euthanized for medical reasons, killed by hunters or on the roads or they had died as a result of various diseases. Swabs were collected from the auricle and deep inside the auditory canal of each cat using a circular motion and then immediately treated with 10 % KOH. We found that 34.65 % of the cats were infested with one or more of Otodectes cynotis (33 cats; 32.7 %), Felicola subrostratus (5 cats; 4.95 %) and Notoedres cati (2 cats; 1.98 %).
