Answer from Kate
Hi Sounds to me like he may have either ear mites or a skin allergy.

He really should go and see a vet as it sounds rather bad and it is obviously very uncomfortable for your cat. You must do something for your cat soon before it becomes infected.

I do have a couple of pages which you may find of further help
