What colour are these flea like insects? If the inside of your cats ears are a brown colour it could be a build up of ear wax, but if you can see movement it is probably ear mites which will result in a visit to the vets. Is your puss scratching her/his ears alot thats another sign of ear mites. My cats have had them and with having more than one I had to treat all of them because they can catch them off each other. If these insects have a big bulbous body they could be tics which hedgehogs have and there is no way you can get them out without leaving the head behind, thats a job for the vets.

Good luck.  :-)
