If your cat keeps scratching her neck, this is most probably a sign of ear mites or something else that is causing irritation to your cat's ear.
Usually when a cat scratches their ear frequently they tend to rub their neck - which can create an open wound.
The best solution would be to take your pet to your local veterinary practice.
The vet can undertake a much more detailed and thorough examination of the area and, usually, will give your pet an injection or medication that will eradicate the mites.

- For now, you should wash the cat's open wound twice daily - depending on how often your cat leaves the house. This should keep the wound clean, and reduce the chances of infection.
- Check the inside of your cat's ear. If there is dark debris present, then it's probably mites that are causing your feline friend's irritation.
- Check the wound for infections regularly, and take you pet to the vet, who will be able to give your pet the necessary treatment.
