my cat has an injured ear..any advice?
My oldest cat has just come in to eat & I noticed a large lump behind her ear & a bald patch from loss of fur..there's no blood but when I touched it to check, the fur around was matted & dirty. She did not seem in distress or pain however think this has been recently done at some point this evening, possibly a fight? Any recommendations of something to treat it or clean it with for now or signs to look out for before I take her to the vets tomorrow for a check up?

Sounds like it might be an abscess from a bite wound or other injury. It's good you're taking her to the vets in the morning, because she'll probably need antibiotics in case of infection.
Salt is a natural antiseptic. Add a teaspoonful to a glass of boiled water which has been allowed to cool and use this to bathe the area.
