Thats the one I thought Lisa meant. I think they do it when they are stalking a bird (or a foot  )

sorry i thought from your description of the ears down and slightly tilted to the side they might be uncomfy or sore esp given he's just finished a course of ear drops in the past couple of days.

If so he's probably just a bit fearful as a result of the decorators having been in - unfamiliar smells etc.

[forever_missing_my_boys(Lisa)]

It is usually fear or aggression. Is there a fair amount of noise because of the redecorating? Maybe he's just feeling unsettled.

he has hid all day today till the decoraters left , he isnt normally shy when we have people in though , he has just eat some food now he has gone rushing up to my oh to greet him 

ill ring the vet in the morning i think just to be on the safe side

Might be a good idea to take him to the vet again, just in case he has mites or something. But as a behavioural display, this usually means fear or aggression.

the vet said last week it defo wasnt mites
but yes i feel another vet visit maybe on the cards

his ears or ear is sore or he has something in them ie drops/liquid of some type.

[forever_missing_my_boys(Lisa)]

he is holding them down

the only way i can desscribe it to u is they are in a position where they look like wings instead of ears lol

i was thinking could it be that his ears hurt or something ?

although he did have a 5 day course of ear drops as did all my cats

yet they are still scratching them 

[Hippykitty]

Are they flattened back against his head? This is a sign of aggression or fear. I've never heard of a cat flattening them to the side, unless this is the way your cat's ears naturally go when he means to flatten them back.

what does it mean if a cat his holding his ears down
sort of to the side
