Recently, our 1 year old cat's ears have become limp near the ends. She seems to be in good health otherwise, but they have been this way for a couple days and we cannot figure out what it could be. No changes in her diet recently and she lives indoors, but likes to run around in the outdoors during the day. Please help!

The usual cause of ear crumpling is ear mites. Kierose, please check inside her ears. If you can, take your pinky finger and use it as an ear swab (sort of like a human Q-Tip). Don't use an actual Q-tip because you can damage her eardrum, just use your finger. If you find a bunch of grainy stuff come out, it means she has ear mites. If you have never dealt with this before, please go to a pet store and pick up an ear mite treatment. The people in the store will show you what they have. Pick one and follow the directions for use.

If it is not ear mites, maybe someone else who is better aquainted with cat problems than I am will stop by and answer.
